Labor Day is a great holiday. It is intended to celebrate the significance of all who work hard to make their enterprises succeed.

 I’m grateful to be your teammate. I’m humbled to be the one who gets to participate in watching so many work hard to create both personal and team success.

 So, as I enter the holiday, picture me raising a glass to you. My toast would be: “To the team – may our efforts toward “lean” result in a better life for all we work with every day. Cheers!”
