2 weeks since graduation and i've mostly just been playing a lot of poker, biking, sleeping, seeing some movies, bowling, and reading.  In the midst of that I did manage to enroll in Train Conductor school at Jccc.  I've been accepted, the final paperwork is on its way to me.  School starts in 4 weeks-its an 8am-3pm M-F class for 6 weeks.

how to manage

currently listening to: Sunny Day Real Estate-Diary

just finished my last case for my business strategy class and we were reading about the CEO who turned Continental airlines around in the 90s.  Here's his philosophy on managing which I completely agree with:

"Your real job as boss–my real job as chief executive–is to let people do their jobs.  It's to assemble the right team, set the big-picture direction, communicate that, and then get out of the way…You have to trust people to do their jobs.  That's the strongest leadership there is."  –Gordon Bethune, CEO Continental Airlines
