So this could be a big problem. I'll keep a check on it. Thanks for letting me know! Btw, I've got you on the list too!

When I was considering going to law school I read a great book called Law School Confidential. Suffice it to say, it wasn't promotional, but there was a great chapter about ownership in it that I'll never forget. The authors mentioned that no matter where you go or what you do, think of the situation as yours, think of that company as you own it, the people as relying on you. That mental shift alone makes you work harder and with more of a community sense. I thought it was brilliant and has made me lead better. The corollary I use now is house vs. apartment, but it gets the point across. Great post!
