DRIVING HOME ONE HOT afternoon I encountered a young cyclist, Dave, who had flatted and was walking his bike in his socks. I pulled over and told him to throw his bike in the back and hop in. As we were driving to his apartment, I was amazed by his mood.

MY LIFE HAS BEEN POWERED by contagious optimism. Having lived through challenging events and experiences, I share how my optimism has made it all worthwhile—for myself and for others around me.

When demand for talent outstrips supply, you’re in a talent war. When you compete for top talent and hope they’ll stay longer, you’re in a talent war. When jobs go unfilled, a talent shortage brings productivity to a halt.
In recent years, previously productive people became disillusioned and disengaged, as management stopped focusing on engaging and retaining their best workers and said, “Quit whining—just be glad you have a job.”
