My role models taught me about management

摘要

The one uncle and many aunts from the maternal side of my family were an unusual collection of people. My uncle, without attending college, became the CEO of a major public utility. My aunts all married outstanding breadwinners without much formal education but with personalities that commanded respect from employees. One of the uncles who married into the family, a high-school dropout, formed a large and successful foundry. Another uncle, who didn't go beyond high school, became an executive in a large corporation. Yet another uncle, trained as a mechanic, established a lucrative automotive shop.
