Be open to suggestions, as no idea is a bad idea
Build trust in your management
Have fun
On hiring, do it very, very carefully and thoroughly
Forgive when a mistake is made
Stay friends with past associates
Rules are made to be broken, judiciously
Listen, listen, listen
Look over the horizon to the future continuously
Don't put off what you can do today till tomorrow
You tell me, not me tell you
The magnitude of the problem correlates directly with the size of the business opportunity
Listen to your team
Cooking, working out, raising my grand children
Cooking: it all started when I went to a YMCA camp as junior counselor and was also responsible prepping food in the Kitchen.
That lead to being a short order cook in Grand Central Station and cooking at home, They say my 3 meat/3 cheese lasagna can't be beaten .:)
Working Out: I played a lot of sports growing up: primarily sand lot football, cross country track. and of course stick ball in the street with of course a Spaldeen; however, my true sport was Rugby: 15 years for the Old Blue, Columbia's rugby club....we won 5 national championships - not bad for a bunch Ivy leaguers.
After that I continued to work out: 5 days a week: 1.5 miles walks, 10 calastenks at 50 reps, plus weights at the same reps level.
Grand Children: My son married into a white trash family, divorce was eminent from the wedding day! they got divorced 3 years later with a split custody agreement. We moved o Colorado to help raise the kids
First, thanks for allowing me to relive my life....best is that I would not change much!
Second, I think your formatting of my experiences using LinkedIn lifts is a stroke of genius, it is the reason I chose you!
