Lunch with the FT: Mickey Drexler

My takeaway...
Lessons from the Great Mickey Drexler, CEO of J. Crew: avoid bullshit, be clear on what you stand for (and WHERE you stand), and don't cave in when your instinct tells you otherwise.
In business: it's best to take a long-term view of building a business, and make investments without having to explain everything - often an impossible notion in a public company. In this economy, everyone is taking business from one another, so "let the best business win."
Drexler is my capitalist hero, indeed!
