Charles Gordon Curtis

Charles Gordon Curtis Charles Gordon Curtis Charles Gordon CurtisAlmost a hundred years ago, Charles Gordon Curtis (1860-1953) revolutionized steam power and enabled inexpensive electricity to be created on a massive scale. This civil engineer turned kapitnspatent attorney turned entrepreneur/engineer/inventor benefited from having someone else market and manufacture his ideas, freeing him up to accomplish even more in other industries.Born in Boston, MA, in 1860, Curtis attended Columbia University, New York, graduated with a civil engineering degree in 1881, and went on to achieve his law degree at New York Law. He started his own patent law firm and worked as a patent attorney for eight years before he partnered with friends Charles Crocker and Schuyler S. Wheeler to form The Curtis, Crocker, Wheeler Company with the intention of making and marketing the first electric appliance motors and fans.According to Cassiers Engineering Magazine of 1901, these small electric motors worked with the same principles that larger dynamos did, giving Curtis a valuable exposure to the power industry he would soon serve. It was not long before Wheeler left, so Curtis co-partnered with Crocker, forming the CC (Curtis Crocker) Electric Motor Company, creating CC Motors for five years.Curtis then pursued his own direction in the new field of steam turbines, forming the Curtis Electric Manufacturing Co. and serving as president. It was there that he invented a steam turbine that offered size and weight improvements over the reciprocating engine/generator combinations used at the time to produce power.His invention, the Curtis Steam Turbine, was a two-stage, multi-speed impulse turbine, and its principles are still used today. Velocity compounding impulse turbines use Curtis Staging that makes more effective use of the energy present in the steam.In 1896, five years after it was patented, Curtis sold the rights to the turbine to General Electric. An agreement with GE in 1897 all owed Curtis space and personnel to develop the turbine for commercial use, and GE the rights to manufacture the turbines. He continued working at GE for three years directing turbine development.GE used Curtis turbines and steam generators in power plants to generate massive amounts of inexpensive electricity. The electric power supply industry grew at an unprecedented rate during 1900-1920, thanks to the Curtis vertical steam turbine.Curtis received an honorary M.S. degree from Columbia in 1907. Shortly after, he won the 1910 Rumford Prize, one of the oldest scientific prizes in the U.S., recognizing contributions to the fields of heat and light, for his steam engine work.Curtis continued to pursue technical accomplishments that were valuable to industries outside of steam. In 1914, he filed the first patent application for a gas turbine, and was recognized in 1950 for his gas turbine work with ASMEs Holley Medal. Later, he worked on torpedo propulsion, and in 1930 patented the Cur tis Scavenging system for removing burned gases from cylinders in two-stroke diesel engines.Despite the great things he did outside the steam industry, it is his work in steam for which he is most remembered. The Pratt Institute Power Plant in New York is the oldest continuously-operating, privately owned, steam-powered electrical generating plant in the country. A 1909 GE Curtis turbine is still one of several turbines periodically operational there today, producing steam, turning, and blowing steam-powered whistles every New Years Eve, a fitting tribute to one of the greatest engineering achievements of the 20th century.Debbie Sniderman is an independent writer.The electric power supply industry grew at an unprecedented rate during 1900 - 1920, thanks to the Curtis vertical steam turbine.

The 5 biggest mistakes people make when looking for a new job

The 5 biggest mistakes people make when looking for a new jobThe 5 biggest mistakes people make when looking for a new jobThey apply for jobs online with mass production speed, using the same resumeSlow down. Recruiters and talent acquisition professionals get an overwhelming number of applicants for each open position and must eliminate most of them. Your resume only stands out from the slush pile as a keeper when the hiring manager can 1) tell that you understand the mission and goals of their organization, 2) have aligned your past experience with the role at hand, 3) have positioned at least one distinct It-Factor that intrigues them.Fashion your resume with the detail of a fine tailor. Reference organizational qualities youve learned from the website. Site news on the company or industry that youve researched online. sttte internal contacts youve developed on LinkedIn and elsewhere as advocates to give you insight into the culture and to open a door for you.They limit their sear ch to the same industry and same size companyIts human nature to stay with what is comfortable. But often people underrate their viability to switch professions because they dont realize their transferable talents. Identify your transferable skills and the industries where they bring value. (Here is a free training course on transferable skills.) Then start conversations with people who work in those industries to broaden your familiarity with the company, industry language and culture.They do not prepare for the interviewI have had clients interview for roles where the final candidate had already been identified yet they secured the job because they wowed the kollektiv on the interview. And I have seen people who have clearly been qualified for a role fail to win the job because of their inept interview skills. Make sure you have good questions to ask. Be able to tell a story about what youve learned through the trials and triumphs of your career. Show dont tell.I am really good at building relationships is subjective. When I started in my career I thought everyone worked the way I do and that management would be easy. I thought I could just define the vision and get out of their way. That wasnt enough. I began to realize the diversity of generations, cultures and personality traits on my team and that I needed to see each member as an individual.I learned the value of meeting with them regularly and tying what we are doing to their personal goals. That is why my attrition is only 6% and we exceeded goals last year by 11%. Thats objective. Thats a story.They dont have a 30-60-90-day plan for the roleWhen you look for a new job your first challenge is not impressing them with how great you are. They wont believe you anyway. It is first convincing them that you are resourceful enough to figure out what you need to do to be successful. Too often candidates like to boast of their accomplishments without context of what else contributed to their success.Hiring man agers want to know that in an imperfect environment you can succeed. Show them that you understand some of the challenges of the company or industry, that you will interview key people in the first 30 days, what you project as short-term wins, and what long-term strategy is required to meet your vision. Create a professional plan on paper for the interview.They havent built their tribeYour tribe is your support network. It is the people in your sphere of influence who advocate and prop you up when you need it and catch you when you fall. Tribes are how we as humans escaped extinction over time. They keep us safe and help us to thrive. We are stronger together than alone. This means that you must also prop others up and catch them as well.Servant leadership underpins a vibrant tribe. Every CEO role I ever secured was due in parte to the influence of my tribe. I won the roles based on my own ability. But I got in the door because of my tribe. Build your tribe at networking events, by deep listening in conversations, participating in discussions on LinkedIn, caring about people, and meeting with key people who you admire.Ask yourself, How can I serve this person? The payoff is downthe road.Good peoplewill want to serve you in return.

Got an offer on the table Dont say yes just yet.

Got an offer on the table Dont say yes just yet.Got an offer on the table Dont say yes just yet.Dont overlook the one thing that will make or break your success.The salary is right, the title is right, the benefits and location are right. You like the people youll be working for. But what about the people youll be working with? Your colleagues and team members? How do you feel about them? If the answer is that youre not sure, you should probably find out. Heres why. Happiness.When you take a job, youre basically joining a social network. Your co-workers become a huge and influential part of your life. Theyre the people you spend fruchtwein of your day with. You kind of need to like them. Its the difference between dreading going into the office every day or looking forward to it. A study from employee engagement company, TINYpulse, found that employees overwhelming responded team members and colleagues when asked what they loved most about their jobs. Growth.You are who you associate yourself with. Its true. If your co-workers are unmotivated and uninterested in doing a great job, their attitude toward work will rub off on you. You will subconsciously try to assimilate yourself with your group. Also, when you join a group where you feel like you dont belong, chances are, you wont be able to get ahead. While its a totally reasonable request to ask to meet with your co workers, its also not something most people do. So be careful how you word it. Something like this is the best way to approach it Im really excited about the position. Before I formally accept, would it be possible to talk with the people Ill be working most closely with to get a sense of how everyone works together? A quick meeting over coffee, or just a quickinformal chat? A good hiring manager should appreciate you wanting to make sure its a good fit for you. If your request is turned down, that says something about your boss and maybe even the company. Its really hard not to see it as a red fla g. Either your boss doesnt think your happiness at work is important, doesnt really care if you take the job, or shes hiding something about the culture that shed rather you didnt know. No reasonable person commits to marriage without getting to know someone. And no reasonable employee should commit to a long-term relationship with co-workers they havent even met. Considering the amount of hours you devote to it, the quality of your professional life should be just as important to you as the quality of your personal one.

This ethically-impelled trend is attracting a lot of investors

This ethically-impelled trend is attracting a lot of investorsThis ethically-impelled trend is attracting a lot of investorsToday, big business is faced with a consumer landscape that makes side-stepping Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives nearly impossible Millennials. Simply defined, CSR is a business model that helps a company be socially accountable on an economic, social, and environmental scope.The Millennial consumer isnt so easily appeased by monetary perks like bargain hunting or label brandishing. Rather, they reward companies that publicly make Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues a top priority.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreThis begs the question, what is ESG Investing and why are Millennials so obsessed with it?While most express interest in altruistic business endeavors and policy, only 15% of people actually know what ESG stands for. E SG issues are a set of criteria by an organization that socially conscious investors use to invest in that company.More than ever, Millennials are becoming more discerning about factoring in a companys stance on ESG issues before doing business with them.In a study by Cone, 76% of Millennials said theyd research a company thoroughly before making a buying decision. And, Millennial moral righteousness is not excluded to their buying habits. Seventy-five percent said theyd be willing to take a pay cut if it means working for a company that is environmentally and socially responsible.The shift in consumer demand is a call to action for investors to capitalize on ESG policy.ESG investment has doubled over the last three years and now represents $1 of every $4 invested in the United States.According to a recent survey by Allianz Life, when asked to rank the importance of an issue in making an investment decision, 73% of respondents ranked Environmental and Social issues as areas of great est influence.This investment trend is wide-sweeping, applicable across a wide range of industries. No company, no matter its size or financial prowess, is exempt. In a new survey by Morgan Stanley, 75% of asset managers say their firms have adopted sustainable investing, up from merely 10% in 2016. A whopping 89% said that theyd devote additional resources to sustainable investing in the next 1-2 years.Across the board, companies are wielding sustainability as a marketing asset.Research by Ceres found that among 600 of the largest publicly traded companies in the U.S., close to two-thirds have publicly disclosed their commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) now accounts for $26 trillion, a 2018 study from Harvard Universitys Kennedy School of Government found, more than a quarter of all assets under professional management worldwide. The study affirms a growing Millennial predilection to make socially impactful investment decisions.When companies dismiss ESG investment opportunities, they miss outDespite the mounting evidence on the importance of ESG in consumer marketing, many companies still fail to see the financial advantages of adopting a sustainable business model. U.S. companies may be keeping an open dialogue with investors on sustainability issues, but the grand majority are doing so in a way that assumes that sustainable initiatives are merely a superfluous nice-to-do rather than a lucrative asset.Those that fail to recognize this potential dont only run the risk of missing out financially, they also forego the mglichkeit to discern themselves from competing industries. In fact, in a recent Allianz Life survey, 84% said companies that focus on being a good corporate citizen have better long term prospects than those who dont.Companies shouldnt dismiss the ESG investment trend if they want to sustain a growing pool of ethically impelled consumers.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

5 Ways to Breathe Life Back into Staff Meetings

5 Ways to Breathe Life Back into Staff Meetings 5 Ways to Breathe Life Back into Staff Meetings Its not that we should throw out meetings,as the study foundthat 92 percent of us value meetings as an opportunity for communication. Rather, its that meetings tend to be missed opportunities. Itdoesnt have to be this way, and I have outlined five tips to breathe life back into your meetings.1. Make Them ShorterThis SalesCrunch study shows that attendee attention levels begin to severely drop off after about 30 minutes, meaning peopleare getting bored. In the first 15 minutes employees are 91 percent attentive, and this drops to 64 percent attentiveness after 45 minutes. Asimple way to reinvigorate your meetings is to keep them to 30 minutes maximum.2. Chaired AgendaPreparing and sticking to an agenda can seem quite constrictive for many a meeting leader, who may feel it cramps their style. Onthe flip side, both this Give Morestudyand the aforementioned Meeting King studyfound that most people find it frustratingwhen there is nochaired agenda.Make properly chaired agendas with action points/takeaways sacrosanct, and this will help boost meeting engagement levels.3. Stand-Up MeetingsThere are obvious health benefits to holdingstand-up meetings instead of slumping in a chair for an hour, but standing upcan also reinvigorate your meetings. Stand-up meetings aretypically shorter generally clocking in at about 15 minutes so they operate within the prime 91 percent attention level. This keeps the meeting focused, and it can help to eradicate distractions. You can holda succession of three or four short, more efficient, high engagement meetings in a week, rather than a single, draining two-hour slog.4. Change the LocationHave you heard of the phenomenon known as Sick Building Syndrome,where people have sick symptoms related to a workplace, but no identifiable cause? These symptoms include aches and pains, fatigue, and poor concentration, none of which will be conducive to your meetings. Once the SBS sufferers leave the building or room, the symptoms disapear. Why not change your meeting location from time to time. Perhaps hold a meetingoutside if its a sunny day, or at the canteen, a local coffee shop, or any place thats a little different fromthe norm to beat SBS and reinvigorate a stale meeting environment.5. Add Some Humor to Your MeetingsOne of the best ways to liven up a dull meeting is to inject some genuine fun, levity, and humor. Try and set a fun, lightheartedtone at the beginning of the meeting, andencourage funny employees. Their jokes can help to reduce tension and add some levity to dire proceedings, making the whole meeting more fun. Those kind of employees can lift environments and meetings with a joke, and they are a gift to your meeting.Id love to hear what suggestions you may have tobreathe life back into your meetings.

How to fall back in love with your career

How to fall back in love with your careerHow to fall back in love with your careerAs we inch closer to Valentines Day, theres so much pressure to be publicly in love. If you stop to think about it, one of the most important relationships in your life is with your career. So, how can you fall back in love with the job you spend nearly every day of your life working at or thinking about?Some industry leaders who fell back in love with their own careers weighed inThe lingerie designer who mixed things upIf youre reading this, youve probably worn underwear Ive designed, says Rachael McCrary, who created designs for Target, Bloomingdales and Nordstrom among others before a stint at Maidenform. These days she designs intimates for Dear Drew by Drew Barrymore.McCrary lost her passion for a while, though Once, I felt like I just couldnt look at another pair of underwear. Anything gets old after 15 years. I felt like I had seen every undie in existence from Hong Kong to Paris to Bangkok to Mi ami.She took a year off and mixed it up entirely. I did five yoga teacher trainings, lived on an ashram and studied Hindu chants in Sanskrit.After a while, I started to miss lingerie. After spending almost no time on the computer, I found a renewed love for drawing in Adobe Creative Suite and all things lingerie, McCrary says. One day browsing the lingerie shops of Paris, I realized its all always being reinvented by lingerie lovers who never get enough like me Theres always a new chapter.The floral industry disruptor who came full circleIt took me nearly one year to realize I was falling out of love with my career, says Juan Palacio, CEO of BloomsyBox.com.After I sold my online flower business back in 2009, I started working with a travel-related domain portfolio.Even though he switched industries, Palacio was still doing what he was passionate about - online absatzwirtschaft, but he felt drained, unmotivated and unengaged. More than that, I was losing interest in the general vis ion of the company, and questioning my personal beliefs of not living up to my full potential. After feeling as though he was on autopilot, Palacio knew it was time for a big change.For Palacio, finding new perspective changed everything I started falling back in love with my career in late 2013. I went to a convention and learned about the online subscription business and became instantly intrigued. I spent hours researching subscription companies and ideas.He realized it was the challenge he missed most. I started working on a business plan for a subscription-based business, which later became the wireframe for BloomsyBox, Palacio said. I thought I was discovering a new passion, but it was just another facet of online marketing with a new perspective. I felt refreshed, revitalized and ready for the challenge.Palacio keeps that positive vibe going by keeping an open mind to different angles of my career. If I get bored or unsatisfied with things that Im doing, I start researching n ew ideas and perspectives to never remain complacent. Complacency can sneak up on you and Ive learned to challenge myself by never letting it win.The corporate alum who finds inspiration everywhereWorkplace trainer and Proctor Gamble alum Scott Mautz is the author of Find the Fire Ignite Your Inspiration and Make Work Exciting Again. Mautz says that to find some of that lovin feeling youve lost, you should concentrate on understanding what evokes inspiration, and be proactive about it.You need to take ownership of understanding how you can evoke inspiration instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you, Mautz suggests. He offered 3 conditions with the most potential for inspiration If its something disruptive (forces you to think about things differently), if its relevant (to core human motives), and if its attainable (feels like it can be accomplished).And keep that good vibe going. You can elevate the mood of your environment by being positive, enthusiastic, and optimistic , which will greatly increase the likelihood that youll receive the same in return. If that doesnt seem to be working, add to the mix by trying a variety of new experiences that might strike a spark of inspiration.Study the routine and the remarkable to see if theres overlap. Inspiration can be uncovered in things we take for granted, like people, places, things, and Pop Tarts, Mautz mused. Practicing focused appreciation, or stopping to consider whats special about a person, place, or thing in our life, and find your inspiration there.
