The Transnational Letters: Richard Branson

Re: 5Q with Virgin's Sir Richard Branson

Richard Branson always shoots "straight from the hip" and I have always respected him for that. He has shown how diverse his success can be, notwithstanding his committment to the future. If only the deadwood running many of the world's airlines had such a forward-thinking, open-minded attitude to their businesses.
