R. Donahue Peebles on Letting Employees Change Lanes

July 8, 2015 by Blog Posts

This interview with R. Donahue Peebles of the Peebles Corporationwas conducted and condensed byAdam Bryant.

Q. What were some early influences for you?The pointer on road (effect of movement in the sky and road)

A. My parents divorced when I was 5, and I lived with my mother. She was a working single parent, and I learned to be a bit more independent. By the time I was 8, I would often cook for myself and take care of myself. My mother worked really hard, so I didn’t want to burden her with me.

As a teenager, I played a lot of sports and tended to lead the teams. But my mother felt I needed a little more discipline, so she thought I should be a page on Capitol Hill. She had worked at the Urban League years earlier, and one of the congressmen she knew was John Conyers. He helped me get me a position as a page on the Hill.
