Sam Zell the Billionaire the Blogger

Partners,

I am personally reading the messages you’ve been sending to talktoSam@tribune.com, and I am energized by your enthusiasm for the future of our company. We need to make sure that nothing gets in the way of our enormous potential for success.

So, I want to share my thoughts about some disturbing language I’ve heard used by Tribune employees internally. While I’m not opposed to using colorful language to make a point, there are a few words by which I won’t abide. One of them is the “C” word. I’ll bet you know the word I mean, and I’ll bet it bothers you too. The word is “can’t.”

To keep reading, go to my blog:

    How about printing the whole thing for those of us outside the Tribune intranet.

    Like David Hiller's blog, it's for employees only. If someone leaks the Sam Zell Blog out, I will link to them.
