Let's start off with a pop quiz: Who is the CEO of your career?

If you answered with any pronoun that is not in the first person, then guess again. I was reminded (once again) of this just last week. I spent a day on the Harvard Business School campus, my old stomping grounds, for a bunch of meetings with professors, students, my book editor, some Deloitte folks, etc.
