Sometimes reflection can help bring about new insights on an old problem -- and cause one to rethink one's own view. In this episode, I revisit my own sidecast with the Talking About Organizations Podcast from earlier in this year. Titled Milton Hershey and an Organization's Commitment to its Members, the sidecast presented the story of Milton Hershey, who is rightfully lionized in the region where I live -- south central Pennsylvania in the U.S. -- as a good man who founded both a company and the town around it.
