Work Life Balance

Yesterday, I saw this NYTimes story about LendingTree’s CEO sudden and accidental death.

He was the founder and longtime CEO of the company. He was a multimillionaire and a vital part of the company’s leadership team. Yet the lede of the story implied how irreplaceable he was:

LendingTree named its chief operating officer, Scott Peyree, as its new chief.

So yes, folks, even the most important of corporate officers can be replaced mere hours after an accident. It reminds me that the most important things in life happen not at work (where you can be replaced at will) but at home and with your family. I doubt that his wife has already named his replacement.
