My first boss Herman was a 2 nd generation Mexican American. He ran a tight Jewish bakery counter and his brother Alex managed the kosher deli across the way. My best boss ever – and I’ve only had a few over a long career I consider truly great – was French and female.

They want transparency, feedback, experiences and the chance to explore their passions.

It's a dance as old as time itself. Your leadership team has opinions on talent - which is good. They're interested. That's a positive.

We should really focus on elite schools for our key hires - Ivy and maybe a few other schools".
