As some of you may know, I retired from my day-to-day job last October after 31 years of diverse, challenging and rewarding work. This was mainly due to the loss of my good friend, mentor and President & CEO of Granite Rock Company, Bruce Woolpert, who passed away in a tragic accident last year. I was fortunate to have worked for his company for the past 24 years as it shaped and influenced my ideologies and taught me many great lessons in business and life. Now, I am semi-retired and gratefully enjoying life with my beautiful family.
Since these days I have more time, I have decided to share what I have learned over the last 31 years in business and in life. This is my way of sharing and giving back to the family, friends, colleagues and the society that has supported me throughout my career and life. As Winston Churchill said: “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” Currently, I am working with leaders of several companies and coaching them to improve the performance of their organizations which is one way I am sharing what I have learned. I’ll write about this new business venture in later posts.
On the lighter side, another way I want to give back is to write about what I have learned about different subjects and interests through blogging. Throughout my business career, I have learned about organizations, strategies, management and leadership. I like to write about these topics which is universal and can help people in their businesses and in their lives. I also have many other interests and hobbies which I like to write about. So you will see some posts about politics, sports, food & wine, cooking, computer technology, electronics & gadgets, collectibles, traveling, cars & car racing, friendship and most importantly living positively.
I am going to write a weekly blog and randomly select a topic from the list above. Please be patient as I am learning how to blog and use WordPress. I will send you an e-mail announcing when my blog is ready and has been posted. You will have the opportunity to comment and create a dialogue.
I hope you find this useful and share it with others as you wish.
Sanjar
