    In 1931, Zora Neale Hurston sought to publish the story of Cudjo Lewis, the final slave-ship survivor. Instead it languished in a vault. Until now.

    It’s interesting (and enlightening) writing about effective performance management when you work in an industry that seems to greatly lack it.

    Performance management leads to happier employees, and a better bottom line.

    Yesterday on the traffic-jammed ride from JFK to Uptown, my driver talked to me about the green card marriage interview. And now this just popped up on my FB feed, which apparently was posted right around the time of convo. FB never fails to creep me

    The thought of someone — Cathy Yan — being BOTH a front page reporter and now a Hollywood blockbuster filmmaker is so epically cool. Nevertheless the fact that she’s a Chinese American woman, too. Let that all sink in for a moment.
