College Graduates

How many college graduates do you know?

If you are a college graduate, most of your friends are also probably college graduates…

But 75% of Americans over age 25 have never received their bachelors degree. that means only 25% have (i learned that math in college).

Books: Corps Business : The 30 Management Principles of the U.S. Marines

Books: Corps Business : The 30 Management Principles of the U.S. Marines by David H. Freedman

I read this book on the plane back from Tbilisi — initially i wasn’t expecting much but i found the book refreshingly interesting.

The book was given to me by Leslie Smith who had to read the book when she was at business school at Whorton (and actually participated in a Marine-lite boot camp). she highly recommended the book.

for a quick read with some very good lessons about leadership, motivating people, recruiting, and more — you might want to pick up this book.
