Left Handers Day 2023

Today is annual International Left Handers Day to recognize left-handed people who make up about 10% of the population. Some famous left-handers in business include Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah Winfrey, Steve Forbes, Henry Ford, Gordon Ramsey, David Rockefeller, and Lou Gestner (former head of IBM). There are also 8 U.S. Presidents, and me. Take the time to think about the tools (e.g., scissors, knives, a mouse) and procedures used in your company and whether they impose difficulties on lefties. Amazon’s Left Handed Store has 4,000+ listings for left-handed products, such as a left-handed tape measure and a left-handed retractable utility knife. #lefthandersday #IdeaoftheDay
