I would have thought Debbi Field was made a leader through her hard work and perseverance regardless of the lack of support her family gave, and her lack of know-how. However, I like how you said you believe that someone who is born to do something will achieve it. I…[Read more]

Apart from all of their differences, the time period and lack of competition( compared to current day) was definitely something they had in common that played a huge role in their success. I agree that leaders are both born and made.

In order to protect herself, she should ensure that elements of negligence cannot be met by the plaintiff.

This is such an important topic and it affects all of us. Prices overall have increased due to inflation, but so many individual products have been subject to price fluctuations because of supply and demand. If we take a look at eggs and oatmeal, we can see that there was a shortage in production caused by nature, and so the market…[Read more]

It really is mesmerizing how everything we touch is related to business. The challenge posed to us in this week’s reading seems even more daunting. Will we ever be able to find something unrelated to business? Seems unlikely.
