A child with an addiction is a challenge; even for a competent, corporate leader ~ Ralph Kramden Posted by:Sally--Monday, October 11, 2010

Here is a quote that 'Ralph Kramden' asked me to post on the PSST blog.

Yesterday on "Undercover Boss",
Mike White, President & CEO of DirecTV said it. (CBS 9PM, 10/10/2010)


"Trying to cope with a child who has a drug problem, I would say, is the biggest challenge I have had as a parent." ~ Mike White, President & CEO, DirecTV.


If a CEO of a major corporation, who is managing thousands of people, and
watching out over billions of dollars in corporate revenue, thinks that his
son's drug addiction is the biggest challenge, that really says a lot.

Mr. White talked briefly on the show,about his son's drug addiction at age 17
and how it has affected Mr. White's life.

It is a challenge for every parent with an addicted child, and Mr. White, who is skilled at facing large business challenges in the corporate world, reaffirms it.
