This coming Saturday is Nowruz or the Persian New Year. It corresponds with the spring solstice which signals the beginning of spring and the end of winter. 

Having been celebrated for over 3000 years, many traditions including the Persian one, take the time to spring clean their homes amongst other things like buying new clothes and having a family celebration to bring in the new year.

Do you need to be a jerk to be a great leader? This is an important question of modern work.
