I don’t usually write on Tuesdays, but it would be irresponsible to not write in the midst of the chaos brewing in my hometown, Baltimore.

As I write this, the sun hasn’t even set.

'Kendra is late because she was at the hospital with her sick child and barely got home to take a shower… got it. Every now and then managers must make exceptions, no doubt.

It’s tricky for all of us. I’m teaching the only leadership course these accounting students will take as part of their masters programs.

All but a handful are on visas from China.
