I read this article on the weird habits of 9 very successful business leaders and I thought they would give me some insight on becoming a better leader myself. Nope. Not really. But I found out that Bill Gates rocked in his chair during business meetings, Henry Ford ate sandwiches with weeds from his yard, […]
A Man, A Bet, and A Bookie
I had just settled down with my coffee and laptop when a man asked for the time. “Three o’clock already?” he replied and got on the phone.
