Chip,

Always love to read what you write! And thank you for bringing some life ... FUN! ... into our leadership "frontal lobe".

I have always been intrigued by the person of Teddy Roosevelt - his was a "strenuous life" but marked with fin and adventure. Someone in history I would be honored to work with. And to tie him in with Herb Kelleher, also the modern benchmark of a fun leader, shows that their legacy was not merely a passing fad, but an enduring application of these principles played out in business and statemanship.

The best takeaway is simply your title Chip, "Is It Fun Being Led By You?". This question alone should be asked throughout each day to ensure we infuse the joy of work and play into what we do in our lives.

Hats off to you Chip - Thanks!!'

Paul
