From Joe: Psychologist Norman R.F. Maier was a brilliant pioneer in his field: Technically creative and full of practical wisdom, his books and articles inspired several generations of students and practitioners.
Maier sagely advised business executives to be simultaneously tough-minded and tender minded when they made decisions:
“Be tough on the problems and the easy on the people!”
Excellent shrewd advice for any leader to take!
It’s also excellent advice for thinking about the problem of obesity.
