Yes, I am a techie.
But, I know that innovation doesn’t only get introduced from a research lab or a design studio. After all, I invented my artificial kidney in my basement. Colon lavage via a thought experiment. The concept for a neurosurgical drill during a midnight reverie. And, so on.

I’ve told you before how engineers (not ChemE’s) were trained back when I was going to school. It was clearly a concept of “we will make you equal” development. The engineer-in-training was honed to be completely compatible with the square box that the professors envisioned for their students.

Listen… Do you want to know a secret? No, I am not channeling one of my favorites songs from the Beatles. And, my daughter actually let the cat out of the bag 10 days ago.

Sue is the reason I managed to graduate from my yeshiva at the top of my form and excel in high school, college, and beyond. She arranged that she would be my teacher for 7th, 8th, and 9th grades (English and History), there was no escaping her influence.

As the CEO of a product company, I knew that our product’s image was vital. But even then (this was 30 years ago), I knew that the customer (those that paid and those that used- in our case they were two separate populations) interactions were also crucial components for our success.
So we spoke last week about the value of conscientiousness in having our marital state helping our careers. But, what helps us stay married? Science says —kindness and generosity.
