A few years ago I invited a buddy to lunch with some of my investment colleagues back when I had a real job.
He joined us but one hour later he was up and ready to leave.
He's partner in a steel company and if anyone could take a two hour lunch it would be the boss, right? When he balked at sticking around he told me, "I may be the owner but I have to set an example. Perception matters in the owner-employee relationship."
I was proud of my friend. Alls growns ups. Here's a guy who didn't take much for granted.
Everytime I see a leader like Obama fill out a basketball bracket I think about this. The act of filling out a bracket isn't much or worth scoring cheap political points off. But, given the turmoil his administration is in, it may be a good piece of advice to at least play the part of a serious boss.
That reminds me.
I have to fill mine out.
