A touch of self-importance never hurts

The Sun-Times points out today that a computer firm run by Emil Jones’ step-son, John Sterling, just won a $1.2 million contract from the CTA. I had never heard of Chicago-based Synch-Solutions, but I was amused by the company’s website which contains a letter from the CEO, Sterling himself. The page itself refers to Sterling as a “Visionary, Mentor, and Leader”. In the letter, Sterling says that “Synch-Solutions is continuing to grow in a climate where the best companies are only able to tread for survival.”

Maybe Mr. Sterling can call in the executive management from the Fortune 500 and give them some pointers before they “drown”.
