Are You Taking Care of Your Employees?

It’s not about paying everyone more, says Lou Mosca. It’s about making sure they’re taking care of themselves.

Good Morning!

Here are today’s highlights:

• Does an MBA make you a better business owner? Is it worth the cost?

• Home builders say the tariffs have already raised costs.

• Even the smallest towns in the U.S. are likely to have a Chinese restaurant (that’s struggling).

• Marshall Rauch was a Jewish manufacturer of Christmas ornaments.

SCHEDULING NOTE

The Morning Report will return on Monday. I hope everyone has a very good Friday and a very good weekend.

MANAGEMENT

In this week’s video, Lou Mosca talks about what it means to take care of your employees: “As a business owner, one of the most important things you can do is put your people first—not with grand gestures or extra pay but with genuine care. Years ago, after hearing about Tim Russert’s sudden death, I made all my key managers get physicals. Why? Because we move fast, it’s easy to forget that health matters—ours and theirs.” CONNECT WITH LOU
