It's crazy to think about it that way, but I know that you have grown so much from some of the stories you have told me. You should write some case studies -- perhaps the next generation of MBA's will be able to learn from your experiences as well.

I see how you made the connection between that and your son because showing people more attention and making them feel wanted is what being a true leader is all about. I wish the company I work for and its management feel the same way, but that's what separates truly educated people like you and I from them. You don't know how much I face everyday and become so frustrated simply because they do no understand how to nurture their people in order to reap the most productivity from every single employee working for the company. I think the comparison you make between fatherhood and CSR is wonderful because as a leader, you will take on a more parental role in caring for your people and making sure they perform at their optimal levels. I only wish the management I work for would read your blog posts and maybe learn a thing or two about real management.
