Hi Everyone,
My colleagues, Chip Bell and Marshall Goldsmith, have written a great new book, Managers as Mentors (see below). Chip Bell has provided our guest blog and it ties in well with Father’s Day.
 Warning…proud papa ahead! The really good-looking guy on the left is my son, Bilijack Bell. He was last December named the 2012 Atlanta realtor of the year by the Atlanta Commercial Board of Realtors. He obviously takes after his mother! The Atlanta Business Chronicle did a feature article about him. In a quote in the article, he made a profound (did I mention I was proud?) statement: “I always choose optimism; it’s just easier and allows me to be open to good things in life.” (more…)
