WHAT'S THE DNA OF FUTURE CEO's
At a recent conference of young entrepreneurs and achievers one of the speakers backed out with the ubiquitous excuse "...caught in a traffic jam..."

I took my pen and jotted down in a hurry my random thoughts on a sheet of paper... and to say I had request if I could email and send them a summary here it is... What surprises me is that if I had thought all through a weekend I might have not been so precise and substance filled.
