Craig Medred: Second guessings
A state fisheries biologist who fell victim to an unusual bear attack near Hidden Creek on the east end of Skilak Lake in mid-June says he doesn’t want to talk about what happened because of fears of “Monday-morning quarterbacking.”

During a brief, Monday conversation, Kyle Shedd said that he would only discuss the attack with “Stephen Herrero.” A professor emeritus of ecology at the University of Calgary (Canada), Herrero is North America’s best-known authority on bear attacks.

He authored the popular book “Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance” in 1985. The book has been revised and updated since and is now in its third edition.

Managing for Accountability: A Business Leader’s Toolbox gives business owners and managers a toolbox containing everything they need to hire, inspire, manage, and retain accountable employees that do what they say they will and who invest 100 percent effort into their jobs.
This book is perfect for those who want a roadmap detailing exactly how to: choose exactly the right employee; set expectations for accountability as part of their company culture; inspire employees to “own” their jobs; effectively address problem behaviors that get in the way of maximum performance; retain their top talent; and create accountability in members of Gen X, Y, and Z. Each chapter provides useful, practical, field-tested strategies and solutions that can be immediately implemented.
Written for owners and managers who have little time to read, Managing for Accountability is chockful of useful tips and well organized to enable readers to return to them for a quick reference when they need an immediate tactic or actionable strategy.

Readers will find the real-life stories engrossing and the checklists and tools immediately actionable and will walk away knowing exactly how to inspire employees, how to maintain employee commitment at a high level, and how to create an accountability culture in their organization.

This morning at 10 on Talk of Alaska:
In a nation that champions free speech, there has always been differing political beliefs, debate over the best way forward for our country and disagreements over what the role of government should and should not be in our lives. But the divisions and arguments between Americans of opposing views has gotten more intense and at times, dangerous. Today, we’ll hear from political veterans about how we can all listen to each other to hear more of what we agree on, rather than what divides us. Join us!
