Yesterday, I had an in-person meeting with the bank’s CIO. Our conversation covered a range of topics, from AI to what motivates him as a human being. Sitting with him reminded me of what is truly good about people, when they are aligned to a vision, see themselves as part of that vision, and selflessly and quietly work to achieve it, often in the background.
It made me think about how many people in our lives are like background music, steadily contributing, creating harmony, and often unnoticed. But every now and then, even the background music deserves to be acknowledged for the sweet sound it’s playing.
