Blog Post: Lessons Learned - No. 16 (privacy lesson from a flight)

I actually have a MySpace account and blog. I've been using the blog primarily to tell "lessons learned" stories. This story from April 2007 is one that should be told here, too. The story begins...

A story from today provides several lessons.

On a flight to Syracuse today, a gentleman sat a row in front of me and to the left. We were both on the aisle. Early in the flight, he read something about golf, which included a league or course schedule for the year. He wrote for a while on a yellow pad (notes about something). Late in the flight he opened up something to read that was marked "Confidential" with a red stamp.

I took notice. Things marked confidential are not to be shown around to others, but here he was reading something confidential on a flight where several of us could peek over his shoulder!

Intrigued? You can read the rest of the story and the lessons here.
