Good deed of our parliament, for offering Fateha of all those persons, who embraced SHAHADAT, while offering prayers in a mosque, when the roof fell over the Namazis in Lahore yesterday.
We are also awaiting when the august parliament will offer Fateha, for all those Pakistanis, who were most brutally killed in the broad day light, by the police on 17 June, 2014 in Model Town, Lahore.

Find New Go-To Employees
Many managers have a small circle of “usual suspects” that they trust to handle key projects or initiatives. But relying on these key people too often – and constantly piling special assignments onto their regular duties – can wear them out and make their performance suffer. Take a step back and think about how to expand your talent pool to get the results you want and ensure that no one is being stretched too thin. Map out your committees, task forces, and other special assignment groups to see if you have a “usual suspect” bottleneck. If the same names keep coming up again and again, it’s time to prioritize assignments, consolidate teams, and, most importantly, add other people to your list. Think of other employees who might welcome new assignments. Are there some high potentials who aren’t being fully challenged? Can you find other people to trust outside of your circle?
