This evening I attended a wine and cheese reception at the offices of Inc. magazine to hear Maria Bartiromo speak about her new book, The Ten Laws of Enduring Success. Inc.‘s new headquarters are located at 7 World Trade Center, the building constructed by private funds. Towers 1 and 2, dependent on public monies, are still holes in the ground as political gridlock has paralyzed the development process. It was bittersweet for me to be back in that area. Bartiromo’s book begins with the events of 9-11, noting the irony that her birthday falls on September 11 and had been a joyful date. But the tragic events of that date and the financial crises and economic recession that followed led many to question the meaning of success. This led to her book, identifying ten laws of success, including resilience. Certainly that is the critical characteristic in these challenging times. I enjoyed the discussion and of course, it was nice to reconnect with friends at Inc. magazine. Do check out the Comcast Productivity@Work promotion with Inc. magazine. I look forward to providing business continuity audits to the winners.
