Respect - just a little bit
By M.J. Clark, M.A., APR

I recently worked with a team of employees who said they did not feel respected in the workplace.  They worked in a very demanding situation where they often had tight deadlines and worked long hours.  They all seemed to love the company but felt their immediate supervisors talked down to them and kept them in the dark.  They were motivated to help the company, but not the individuals for whom they worked necessarily.                                                                                                                         (continued)

Working on your Legacy
By Steven L. Anderson, Ph.D., MBA

     When I was younger I had a marvelous mentor named John Savage. He is now deceased, but he was one of the most amazing men I have ever met. His teaching and inspiration is with me every day. John was the number one life insurance salesman in the state of Ohio, but you never would have known about it by his behavior. His life was all about making a difference for other people.
     I’ll give you an example of his generosity. Once John was in a meeting and someone he had never seen before burst into the room. The intruder yelled, “My wife is having a baby and I need a car right now!”  “Take mine”, said John and threw him the keys. Wow, talk about trust and generosity. This was just one example of this man’s incredible leadership.
