The Three Key Leadership Lessons From 'Seinfeld'

It may take 50 or 100 years for people to pay proper tribute to Jerry Seinfeld’s insights into the human condition.

But already it’s telling that whole academic studies often tell us no more about people than what Seinfeld has been able to figure out on his own. The whole range of human foibles is catalogued in the nine seasons that his self-named show was on the air. And the Internet is now filled with life lessons from the show.
