<b>Welcome to the rigorously reasoned, deeply heartfelt, and always enlightening mind of Fred Kofman. Trained as an economist, with stops along the way as a management professor and consultant, Fred’s official title at LinkedIn is vice president of executive development. But I have a shorter name for what he does. I call him the High Priest of Capitalism.</b>
Reid Hoffman, founder and former chairman of LinkedIn; board member of Microsoft (from his introduction)
