Ben and Jerry so EX! What is Leadership?


A pint of Ben & Jerry Ice cream cost S$5 in USA. A pint of Ben & Jerry Ice cream cost S$10. Is this a lesson on inflation or evidence of price jacking? Its imported from USA, and to send it all the way from US to Singapore, refrigerated, does incur additional cost. But an price increase of 100%? No wonder it status becomes "Premium" or "Luxury" in Singapore. I gain weight eating B&J ice cream at less 2 times a week ( once I had it daily).

Now for a short lesson on leadership, be it war or business.

"Any Leader, Military or Civilian, has one priority: the quality of the people under his command. Without their skill & Spirit, the best plans & policies turn to dust."
