Doug Mercer,believes that business executives'horizons are too narrow.The cause of the problem is the increasing pressure of work.They have too little time apart from work, and when they are away from the office the stress from work follows them home so that they have too limited an attention span to be able to read a book,reflect quietly about current issues,or even to talk with family or friends.Even in those times that used to be available for reflection,commuting to work or visiting theatres in the evening,executives are likely to be interrupted by the mobile phone. The consequence is a paradox:the creativity necessary for any senior executive position is gradually being eroded by the pressures stemming from that position. Ethan Berman agrees with Mercer.He has tried to combat this effect by opening up his world by talking to his clients about their lives and by holding arts meetings in his office to which he invites a series of artists and musicians to meet his employees and his clients.By 106

A Tesco spokesman confirmed that the company was in talks with at least five other directors who have yet to decide whether they will accept alternative internal postings or take redundancy. He said:"The people who have left have left as friends of Tesco and we value the work they did.Nobody has been sacked.We have done some work on our supply chain and distribution functions to combine two functions into one.
