How to lead a bank
“If you don’t fully understand an instrument, don’t buy it.
If you would not buy a specific product for yourself, don’t try to sell it.
If you do not know your customers very well, don’t lend them any money.
If you do these three things, you will be a better banker, my son.”
- Emilio Botin, 73-year-old Chairman of Spanish bank Santander, whose bank has emerged unscathed from the credit crisis, “delivering a tongue-in-cheek lecture on the basic tenets of banking” (FT) at the Euromoney Awards, where Santander was named ‘World’s Best Bank’.

Happy Birthday Woody Guthrie

"I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good," he explained in Ed Cray's popular biography Ramblin Man. "I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose...I am out to fight those songs to my very last breath of air and my last drop of blood. I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world."More at Wired Magazine
Sounds like leadership to me...
