Earn your raise by…blogging

CHIEF executives are inclined to avoid activities generally deemed to be high-risk: Sky diving. Cliff jumping. Motorcycle racing. And blogging…

In an exhortatory piece, “If You Want to Lead, Blog,� published in The Harvard Business Review last year, Mr. Schwartz predicted that “having a blog is not going to be a matter of choice, any more than having e-mail is today.�

“My No. 1 job is to be a communicator,� Mr. Schwartz told me last week. “I don’t understand how a C.E.O. would not blog if committed to open communication.� (New York Times 7/30/06)

Open communication. We can use more of that in Elgin, can’t we?
