When asked about rejuvenating the company, a new employee made what might seem like an impolite suggestion: that the president should change his image.
The president was impressed, and the deal went smoothly as a result.
It’s a casual conversation reflecting on work, but it prompts us to consider how having a new viewpoint might lead to a better future.
