Leadership

 The best executive I've ever known wore a Hawaiian shirt most of the time. [He worked in Arizona.]

His office was unpretentious, even spartan. He boasted that he could move out of it within an hour with many minutes to spare.

He was plain-spoken, had a great sense of humor, and made a point of making visits to the field.

A great listener, he was constantly examining ways to improve the workplace.

In our last conversation about leadership, he said that the most under-rated virtue of a leader is benevolence.
