“Lessons in Leadership” 0

My boss at my first full-time job was a really good boss. (Like many good bosses, if he had a failing, it was that he would try too hard to save the jobs of persons who had demonstrated that they richly deserved to be separated from the organization.)

One day after I had known him long enough to feel comfortable do so, I asked how he got to be so skillful at managing people. He replied, “Welllll, I think about what my first boss would have done.

“Then I do the exact opposite.”

Ronald E. Riggio suggests that the same statement applies Donald Trump’s leadership you-could-hardly-call-it-a style.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
