Lessons Learned: A Method to the Madness

As a sports fan, this may well be my favorite time of the year. Major League Baseball is in the midst of Spring Training, and this year, we have the extra treat of the World Baseball Classic for the first time since 2017. Professional golf just held what many call its “fifth major,” the Players Championship. However, the centerpiece of the sports calendar this time of year is “March Madness,” the NCAA College Basketball Tournament. So many of us will be spending our time over the next three weeks filling

Local jeweler finds marketing green through annual giveaway

Augusta is synonymous with green jackets and to some extent with green boxes. One takes place in April, the other is a Christmas tradition akin to searching for Willie Wonka’s Golden Ticket, but for adults. The Green Box Giveaway from Windsor Jewelers celebrated its sixth year in 2022, but each year it has been more than just a search for a prize. It’s a part of Augusta’s rich history. The giveaway was the brainchild of Shane Thompson, head of marketing for Windsor Jewelers, and the third generation of Thompsons to

Conducting business is now everything, everywhere, all at once

This weekend, Everything Everywhere All at Once swept the Academy Awards with seven gold statues. When you think of technology and the way it’s transformed business, it’s the perfect analogy. In the past, we were stuck at our desks, with no ability to conduct business on the go. Fast forward to 2023 and we see a business being conducted at the office, at our homes, and even on vacation (which draws mixed emotions). These recent productivity developments are largely due to the growth of specific technology that keeps our pipelines

When Fort Gordon becomes Fort Eisenhower, members of the General’s family will not only be heading to the post just outside of Augusta, but they are also helping plan the date for the renaming ceremony. Their request is that the event be held in October, which would coincide with former President Dwight Eisenhower’s birth date of October 14. “Fort Gordon Command staff is working with the Eisenhower family on the final details for the exact date of the event, one that is mutually accommodating,” said Lesli Wouters, Chief of Public

Thoughts from the General: Surrounded by excellence, insights from Emory University

Next month, I will have the pleasure of teaching executive leadership at the Goizueta Business School at Emory University. These Emory scholars are pursuing a Master of Business Administration at one of the highest-ranking business schools in the world. The following is feedback from a similar session which was conducted last year. During the question-and-answer period, I realized that I was surrounded by amazing folks—most of whom were smarter than me. The questions were sharp. No one chose to give a mini-speech. Professor Jeff Rosensweig was my host. Jeff has been
