February 4, 2010 (RALEIGH, NC) -- Are the Triangle's best days already passed? In the February issue of Raleigh Metro Magazine, senior writer Rick Smith talks with regional leaders and comes back with a positive but mixed message from bankers, developers, tech entrepreneurs, government officials and economists.
According to Rick Weddle, chief executive of Research Triangle Park, "Perhaps the greatest threat we face is not being visionary or agile enough to anticipate what's next and position ourselves correctly".
Also in the February issue: an update on offshore energy options on the NC coast by Jim Leutze former chancellor of UNC-Wilmington who serves on several coastal commissions and committees.
In the February issue: the hospital building boom from the Triangle to the coast; the uptown attitude in downtown Carrboro by Diane Lea; a reminder to eat your veggies at area restaurants by Moreton Neal; the latest in wine by Barbara Ensrud; NC State's idea to re-build the torn-down Catalano House by Mike Welton; and the announcement by Metro editor and publisher Bernie Reeves to run for the US Congress against Brad Miller.
Established in 1999, Raleigh Metro Magazine is a monthly publication covering North Carolina from the Research Triangle area to the coast, with a readership of 160,000. It is available at bookstores, selected newsstands and online at www.metronc.com.

On My Honor, I Will
Aug. 29, 2010 - (By: Gary Tomlinson) "Learning from the school of hard knocks can be very informing, but often the tuition is too high! We should learn from other people's experiences." The purpose of this column is to share great business wisdom from the experiences of authors like Jim Collins, Michael Gerber, Gary Harpst, Michael LeBoeuf, Ron Willingham, Randy Pennington and others. Because when you combine great business education with your own business experiences the outcome you'll receive is far greater than the sum of its parts.
The wisdom of Randy Pennington's new book; "On My Honor, I Will; The Journey to Integrity-Driven Leadership" has been chosen to share with you this week. The seed for this book began with five words: "He's a REAL BOY SCOUT." Those words were spoken to Randy Pennington by his client who used them to describe his boss. They were not meant as a compliment. His client's contention that honor and integrity are not consistent with long-term success concerned Randy then and continues to do so today. It was the catalyst that caused him to write this book.
Unfortunately his client's belief is shared by many others today. More »
