The Parable Ass

This certified ass cannot buy a coffee without extracting a leadership principle from it. The post begins with an ordinary encounter, a cab driver, a janitor, a child, a stranger in an airport, who delivers, unprompted, a single line of devastating wisdom no human has ever actually said out loud. And in that moment, the post continues, I understood everything about scaling a business. The story may not have happened. The barista may not exist. The lesson is that we should all be more present, or more grateful, or more bold, depending on the quarter. The Committee has never once been handed enlightenment with its latte and finds the consistency suspicious.
