I was fortunate enough to take a little Thanksgiving vacation (working vacation) this past week. Monday – Wednesday was pretty much 90% work and 10% play as I had a deadline for our innovations competition. We made it though. I am thankful for a good team of folks…..some of the best I’ve seen in the last 8-10 years.
I was able to run by Barnes & Noble in Murfreesboro TN on Wednesday night and pick up a book titled Just Listen by Mark Goulston. I plan on purchasing a couple of additional copies and loaning them to some of my friends. The book is a must read for managers and anyone that wants to better understand how to ‘get through’ to those folks in your life that are ‘impossible’.
I love a quote found in the book from Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, “Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.”
Hope everyone has a good holiday weekend. I’d love to hear your Thanksgiving stories!
