“Culture is what you practice, promote and permit”. Tim Kight, Organizational Consultant. Having a constructive culture is the key to successful organizations. Culture is reflected in the beliefs we have, the way we behave and the quality of experience, because we were around. So, I pay attention to Kights culture quote.

It’s doing not hoping that makes a difference. It’s doing not wishing that makes a difference. It’s doing not planning that makes a difference. It’s doing not knowing that makes a difference.

I’ve been travelling around this spring and visiting our plants. I’ve been reviewing the numbers from the “engagement survey” we had you complete. We made a commitment to share only the numbers from a specific plant with the team associated with the plant so I won’t be providing results. But, my summary would be that your response was positive and you helped us to identify areas for improvement. In every single plant, one area where

All around us: people suffering through persistent, mysterious pain and illness; parents and grandparents worried about their children’s difficulties; folks suffering the loss of loved ones;… Hardships abound.

Aging myself today, but The Eagles are one of the bands that resonated with me in my youth. So, I was sad to learn of Glenn Frey’s death yesterday.
