WANT TO KNOW HOW CAREERS REALLY WORK?

Join the newsletter for straight talk on promotions, layoffs, bosses, and how organizations actually operate.

Practical. Direct. Occasionally amused. Always useful.

It isn't just Steve's pragmatism and ability to see all situations through the prism of common sense and fairness that make him the first person I consult when I encounter a challenging situation. It's the fact that his motivations as a professional, philanthropist and friend are born out of a genuine sense of goodness and kind intent. You hear a lot of people that claim to be 'selfless' but with Steve it's really never about HIM. He's smart, thoughtful and compassionate and I am one of many who count him among my most trusted colleagues.
