The [Tuesday] Papers"In a survey of 500 leaders of large corporations in seven countries, three-quarters reported the existence of change fatigue in their organizations, and 39 percent said it is highly prevalent - but perceptions varied depending on where respondents perched on the food chain," the Tribune reports. "The further away leaders are from the effects of change, the more blind they are to it and ill-prepared to mitigate the fallout, said Tyler Durham, partner and president of Ketchum Change, a unit of global communications firm Ketchum that specializes in change management consulting." This is about CPS, isn't it? * "Change fatigue happens when employees are so battered by change that they can no longer handle it productively. Burned out or apathetic, 'they foot-drag, ignore or destructively oppose change because they know they won't be able to adjust to today's change before tomorrow's is making new demands on them,' says the report. Or they quit." Yup.

This might sound like management consulting gobbledygook, but I believe in it. I actually have a favorite management consultant, W. Edwards Deming, who used to say "The worker is not the problem. The problem is at the top! Management!" Rauner's Illinois "The report also provides a snapshot of the level of state funding required to close the current funding gap, and the increasingly destructive human costs of the budget impasse . . . "For example, due to the budget impasse and the lack of revenue, the following state services are being dismantled:
