Changing Business Culture: Doing the Heavy Lifting

Tucker Miller, Esq. (ELI Instructor, Client Development Manager)

Last Friday I dead-lifted 260 pounds. In other words, I picked up a 45-pound bar with 107.5 pounds attached to each end and stood it straight up. It was heavy. It was also one of the most exciting things I’ve ever done in my life.

Bob Dylan Wins Pulitzer: Now that I have your attention…

Marla Lepore (Vice President of Marketing)

You have to feel sorry for this year’s crop of Pulitzer winners. Their moment in the spotlight will most likely be shadowed to some degree by the headline that Bob Dylan is now a Pulitzer-prize-winning artist.

Qualities of Leadership

Stephen M. Paskoff, Esq. (President)

I’ve thought a lot about leadership over the past few years – it’s what every firm says it needs to build better, more efficient, inclusive ethical and lawful workplaces. Go to any bookstore and the shelves will be lined with first-person or biographical accounts of epic leaders –Washington, Lincoln, King, Patton, Schwarzkopf, Welch, Jobs, Gates. Those leaders are few and far between, and most of us read about them hoping to find nuggets of wisdom we can apply.
