Aside from the opportunity to reconnect with distant friends and colleagues, what I miss most about not being present for this session today is an excuse to trot out again my favorite James statement on business ethics, and to say out loud and in public what he wrote to H.G. Wells in 1906:
"The moral flabbiness born of exclusive worship of the bitch-goddess SUCCESS. That - with the squalid interpretation put on the word success - is our national disease."
