    • Congrats on the site and the book. But if I am going to put out money for a book I need a copy signed by the authors.

    Love the father-son story. Drove your point very well.

    Hi Myrtha, thanks for that. I thought the story was a really good one about accountability. $100 wasn't going to do it.

    Thanks for the shout out. I had not thought about this dynamic as relating to the work environment but it is true. Coincidently I just spent the first two hours of the work week with my boss and the other people managers discussing where each of our people stand and their development needs.

    We had some good but tough discussions as to how to bring people to the next level--for some that just means competent. In all cases we discussed our responsibility versus theirs and the need to keep the standards high.

    You have a great knack for seeing linkages. You should be in the communications business. Oh yeah, you are.

    Rick, I think that story and how you constructed it was brilliant. Plus, you applied Advanced Parenting on that one...don't get mad, take a breath, and then apply justice. Really good lesson for me, and yes, translatable to the work environment. Well done!
