"I’ve got to go out and create opportunities for our company, and that means meeting people who aren’t going to come visit you," he says. The most important lesson his father ever taught him was to treat a janitor with the same level of respect and dignity as you'd treat a CEO. Want your business advice featured in Instant MBA?
