Work can be an inspiring, positive environment - we're all working towards that end! Cheers! C.

Awesome and yet heart breaking story. I have definitely heard employees say with dismay that they're not paid to think. It's a travesty but I believe we are changing it. Slowly but surely we are learning to shrink the power distance and collaborate. Thanks! Stacey Great post! Awesome and yet heart breaking story.

Thank you for being a role model for servant leadership and creating high performance, values-aligned cultures. Best to you & Kim - Cheers! C.

I would also add that the most significant impact on the future at Banta Catalog Group was not necessarily the performance results, which were certainly amazing and made them one of the top performing catalog printers in the nation, but was the profound impact it had on leaders. Those leaders who went through that transformational shift that you mention, are now making a profound impact on every person that they interact with as they share the power of servant leadership! It has had an amazing cascading effect that none of us will ever fully know and understand. Thanks so much for your guidance and leadership in that effort, that continues to produce results in people's lives beyond what you know! Mark Chris,

Thanks Chris. When we try and keep it "human" and actually CARE about the employees, it makes a huge difference. Listening is so important and you can not emphasize "praise & encouragement" enough. Respect. I could go on and on about this. Thanks again. "Influence & Inspire Positive Change" Take CARE. Al This is excellent. Thanks Chris.

Pushing isn't as conducive to long-term connection & commitment by employees. It's about "magnetic attraction" - pulling them to do the right thing when no one is around! Cheers! C.
