I have been fortunate to have three kids (well, now in their 30s) who have always been talented and able to use it. Fortunately, they don't have to shoot three-pointers, and they know enough about what shots to take.

This week the oldest got a significant promotion at her public company, into the elite ranks. For me, an interesting thing is that I'm not surprised she excels at the tasks necessary to perform her organization's functions. I would not necessarily have bet on the management / leadership that is also needed.

This week I was with her daughters (ages 5 and almost 9) for three days (a snow day and a baffling five-day weekend in progress at a critical time). I can't help but speculate and wonder what they will be like as adults, both as persons and on the job. You know, just like everybody else does.
