Last week I had the chance to collaborate on six Executive Education sessions at Stanford with John Donahoe, the former CEO of Nike, ServiceNow, eBay and Bain.

If I haven’t bombarded you enough with emails, LinkedIn posts, or other social media, you might be the only person in my extended universe who doesn’t know that my second book is coming out in six days.

Last week I caught up with a former student on Zoom. The two of us met at a small group dinner that included eight students and a faculty member (me) on Friday, March 6, 2020.

Ok, now that I have infuriated some of you with that headline, I beg all of you to stay with me for a moment…

It was 9 PM when my cousin asked me that question. Her father (my uncle) had died 12 hours prior and the two of us found a few moments to connect on the phone.

Ok, this is a continuation of my last post and has nothing to do with leadership or business. Or even systems.
