Tomorrow all around the globe, a special green beer day is celebrated. Although I’m not to fond of the green dye added to a perfectly good beverage, I fully get the spirit of the Go Green on St. Patrick’s Day – green pancakes, green eggs, green hair, green, green, green….. On such an occasion, we as business leaders just can’t skip over the green in our business which is much better known as “Profit.” So as the green beverages and…
