“I keep a miniature figurine of Sir Alex Ferguson (the long-time manager of Manchester United) in my office. My husband gave it to me for Christmas a few years ago, mostly because I have had a long-standing crush on Sir Alex. But I keep it for other reasons as well, including professional inspiration. Sir Alex was a highly successful football club manager and the Harvard Business Review has written about his management style on a couple of different occasions. Also, I married into being a United fan and my husband and I spent part of our honeymoon in Manchester.” –Erica Storm
