After an extremely productive day-long executive session devoted entirely to organizational health, we were invited to dine at the home of Colin Angle, iRobot’s CEO.  The rain stopped long enough for us to enjoy some time on the mansion’s patio which overlooks the North Atlantic.  The real fun started after diner.  Colin challenged me to a “sumo wrestling” match after learning I was a former wrestler.  He wrestled at Niskayuna High School. I wrestled at cross-town rival Mont Pleasant High School in Schenectady, New York. We are about the same weight but never met at the time because he is 9 years my junior. Colin recently purchased the home adjacent to his and its empty great room was the perfect venue for our match. After setting out the mat and donning our highly padded suits, we began the epic 5 round battle. With most of the executive leadership team looking on, I was humbled when he (red belt) skillfully pushed me out of the circle to end the first round.  Once adjusted to the padded sumo style, I proceeded to win the next four rounds including one with a rather impressive head-and-arm throw (not easily executed in a fat suit and pumpkin helmet).  By any measure this was not your average touchy-feely team building affair but without a doubt the highlight of the day.  It has been 35 years since my last wrestling match and this may well be my last.  I am pleased to remain undefeated against Niskayuna wrestlers and as I walked back to the inn found myself remembering with great fondness, Larry Mulvaney, my wrestling coach. I am eternally grateful to him for what he taught me about being a warrior, a gentleman, and a leader.
