I’ve been sitting on a couple of posts that I am particularly excited about—but I’m stopping everything to share a story from a friend that motivates the hell out of me.

There are jerk bosses, and there are really awful, horrible bosses. This is about the latter.

Business philosopher Naval describes our purpose in life: “To reverse local entropy.” That’s a short and fancy way of saying: “The world is always going to s**t, so grab a shovel and do your part to improve it while you’re here.”

Jerk bosses are just one of the many ways that things can seem to turn to s**t. Those of us in business can reverse local entropy. Be a great leader—and put the jerks out of business.

You ARE significant, and we need you to keep reaching for that shovel each day.
