Agree, very well written.

I was reading this yesterday and one line really stood out at me....

Is this the best boss in Australia?


THEY are a happy bunch at Clive Palmer's Yabulu nickel refinery near Townsville. Certainly happier than they were when BHP Billiton owned the operation and rumours of its closure surfaced on a regular basis.

Mr Palmer acquired the then loss-making operation 16 months ago and has turned it around. Productivity has gone through the roof with the help of widespread pay rises for the 800-strong workforce.

Who would have thought that treating your staff well would increase productivity for the company? That Clive is a genious!
