Some Notes Worth Keeping
It was announced today that the Malaysia Airlines flight 370 ended its journey in a remote area of the Indian Ocean, nowhere near a potential landing spot. While we all suspected and braced for a tragic end, the definitive update brings a final reality to the slightest hope. I can’t help but feel deeply saddened for of those who were onboard and their families left behind.
I have worked hard over the last 12 years building Crown with the ultimate goal of creating a successful business to help brands grow their eBusiness. But on a more personal note, I deeply enjoy mentoring talented people and helping them grow into their potential. I have interviewed and hired over a thousand people. I aspire to inspire all of them to make their mark at Crown and beyond, to the absolute best of their potential.
I’m a regular Skype user and usually make a habit of ignoring Skype’s advertisements for upgrades to premium or international calling rates at the bottom of the contacts window. Today’s ad was different. It was for a collaboration with Victoria Beckham. Wait. What? Victoria Beckham, the Spice Girl married to David Beckham? I was intrigued enough (and confused enough) to click on it.
As a CEO, I see fear hold people back more than any other thing. It stops them from reaching, innovating, discovering their own abilities. How can you know where the edge is if you don’t go over it every once in a while?
