“I learned the hard way very fast … After a few months, I lost most of the team. I was almost by myself and very sad. I changed totally how to manage a team and how to be a leader. You live by example and you lead by inspiring.” —Converted Buddhist Eric Ripert on his early, hot-tempered days at Le Bernardin, before he found his Zen. [NRN]
