My Way or the Highway
We’ve all done it before – just charged ahead with our own agenda without paying attention to what’s going on with the other people in the space. Not typically our shining moment. Of course what we want and need, in our minds, is paramount. So paramount that others should want and need the same thing […]
Will You Be There?
I have a friend and colleague who always asks to get together. Great guy. Fun. Interesting. It’s always enjoyable to see him. We eagerly schedule something.
