@AmyMccTobin @ginidietrich I always tell workshop participants that being a leader isn’t about title or money. The only way to know if you’re truly leader is to turn around. If you’ve got followers (whether they officially report to you or not) you’re a leader. If you don’t have followers (even though you may have people who report to you) you’re not a leader.

@Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes Here’s the thing that bugs me. It doesn’t even take effect until 2014! And so you are going to lay off 10 people to get you below the 50 employee minimum? Great…are you still not offering benefits to those 49 people? Some people.

@KevinVandever I don’t know if I should be more impressed that you wrote this comment or that it came out of your brain.

@TonyBennett I’m sure you don’t watch The Good Wife, but on this week’s episode, the partners at the law firm were trying to figure out why their counsel was being so rude and abrasive. it turns out he’s reading the Steve Jobs biography. I guess people think it worked for him and he built the most successful company in the world so it should work for everyone.
