I was wondering..
... one would be such a coffee snob if they owned their own 'small' private 'fancy' coffee company...
... one would be such a beer snob if they owned their own 'fancy' brewery...
... one would be such a wine snob if they owned their own 'winery'
... I was also wondering... inspite of not owning any of the above you will find atleast 5 out of 10 people who are either ' coffee snobs' ; 'beer snobs' or 'wine snobs'... a means to increase their coolness coefficient sometimes... sometimes just good taste... yours truly is guilty of the same too... but 'I' would say in my case its 'good taste' : 0 )
and now you may be wondering... I am crazy !

leaders
Often times we tend to 'make believe' aggressive, extrovert, street smart and even loud people make good leaders but have you ever realized, that in a gathering, a presentation, a speech, an organization, in day to day life... the people who leave the most lasting impression... the people who lead are the ones that clearly ' inherently' exhibit humbleness,dedication, a great sense of humor(especially the ability to laugh on oneself), absolute trust in the people that work for and with them.
the key element though that binds the two 'sets' described above is Passion... Passion for your cause gives you the strength to go all the way... Passion brings out the aggression and extroversion in an individual when its most valid and needed ... irritating is that aggression and extroversion which exists all the time... oh and ofcourse... none of this holds good without 'ambition' right? there is no leader that's not ambitious... be it a silent ambition or a 'in your face' one...
p.s: on a side note, specific to business... I just remembered something a Mentor once said... for the greater good of your business always hire someone who is smarter than you to work for you... my two cents to this... when in front of an audience... always consider your audience to be way smarter than you!
