SPOTLIGHT

When the Strategy is to Talk Strategy
I love listening to very smart people talking.
TED talks,
great speeches
, brilliant co-workers. There is something about how really smart people talk - they are clear, funny, and poignant. In so many ways, smart people embody the right way to do things: have a dream, come up with a plan, and "do" the plan.
