Dear Readers,
What’s your New Year’s resolution? Lose weight? Spend more time with your family? Every January, I think over the past year and wonder how I can do things better. Here's my list:
- I’m going to clean up my diet.
- I’ve committed to balancing my checkbook at least once a quarter.
- I vow to be more of a yes-man (woman). You know, less bark and more wag.
I thought you might be having trouble setting a New Year’s resolution. I chose the easy ones, so you get the harder ones. After all, you're leaders of industry.
