Who Are You? Who, Who?

Posted on April 14, 2010 by Eleanor Biddulph

You might recognize the following lyrics as the refrain from the 1978 song “Who Are You” by The Who.  This song came to mind as I thought about two books I recently read, both about authenticity.  I invite you to consider if your team members or your customers might wonder these words about you: Well, who are [...]
