Important leadership lesson: stay humble.

Posted in Businesson Dec 8, 2007

Mary Peery, Retired Senior Vice President of Hewlett Packard, said this was the most important leadership lesson ever learned:

Stay humble. Humility keeps you open to learning from any one else. No on EVER has all the answers and if they think they do they’re not a good leader. Over time they will most likely fail and certainly do significant damage along the way.

Converted all my SSL apps to Google App Engine. I didn't want to have to pay for my own SSL certificate any more, and App Engine allows for SSL sites with valid and recognized certificates (on their appspot.com domain) for free.
