“Right here, right now” was a favorite saying of Hippo. He liked things finished in a timely fashion and when a product was delayed he found himself becoming impatient with everything. Knowing full well that to be a good boss he needed to be a more patient person he learned that just because something didn’t happen right when he wanted it didn’t mean it would ruin his entire business. For Hippo, learning patience was key to being a great leader.
