Another one that hits home. The piece sure brings back memories, but still pertains today!

Know that you were/are always a good example and supportive... Thanks

Thank you, Ray. I was thinking about you the other day, remembering our initial meeting, and all you did for Coastal Glass during your years there. Hope you're well -

Another great article filled with practical tips. FWIW, I almost always make the coffee for our staff, because nobody makes it better than I do. I’ve tried training others, but their coffee is still sub-par. Now it’s dawning on me that perhaps they make it that way on purpose so that I’ll wind up being the regular coffee maker. I’ve been out-foxed!

that's funny - but in all seriousness, a practice like making coffee for your staff is a small thing, but it can be powerful in framing your posture towards them. It reinforces that you seek to be a servant leader. Great example, Matt -

Good post Jack. I'm reminded of Christ, He was approachable, and He washed feet.

So good to see you all at reunion. Lamenting that we didn't have more time to talk.

Thanks Jimmy. Yes, not enough time that week to spend time catching up with everyone I wanted to. Good to see you, and will look forward to more time next time.
