DISQUS

Agree with the previous commenters. However, it also sounds like the guy had great perspective. What I mean is, he could be a tough, domineering sonofagun at a poker game. After all, the point there was for someone--one person--to win. But he knew that business isn't about any one person. Rather, there's always so much more at stake and the best people work hard to do good deals for their companies because that's the long term perspective that's required when vast corporate resources and reputations are on the line.

Thanks for sharing this story, since it illustrates something that we should all keep in mind.

Congrats to you and Laura on joining the parent ranks!

Thanks for the link, Joe (podcast with Gerd Leonhard). This is the first time I've been to your site. I'll be back, as it looks to be chock full of useful information. Keep it up!
