I don’t own monkeys or anything but I do walk to a different beat than  most and tend to have a different opinion about how to run a business than most but I usually don’t go blabbing my opinion. Anymore:) It just so happens that some of the people on this list of outstanding leaders are people I follow, read about and I take their advice very seriously.
