It might be your skillfully crafted memo that the CEO praised and routed to everyone in the company. I ask my CEO clients to complete a simple exercise. In 2009 Marshall's friend the late CK Prahalad was ranked #1 and Marshall was ranked #14. Who wouldn't want to reread that memo in a spare moment?) Life is good.
