Deconstructing the enemy graveyard, a corporate recovery
I’m at the end of my 6-month sabbatical, time that I’ve intentionally given myself off from the corporate merry-go-round after 30 years of ups and downs.

I’ve been asked to stay through June to transition. I don’t take for granted this extended opportunity as many…
