The Leadership lessons

A junior exec tries to blackmail the boss, then blows the secret wide open in front of the man who owns the company. The partner's advice isn't 'fire him.' It's 'keep an eye on him — one never knows how loyalty is born.'
Reward the Ask
Peggy Olson walks into her boss's office and asks for a promotion nobody handed her. He says yes in two words — and tells her exactly why the 30 men down the hall never got it.
