Do What You Do
Well, today I have no thought provoking questions...no dramatic situations....just a busy day! I had to go into the office today to check on my employees, and as usual, they are fine. I took my staff downtown to lunch because they have really been doing a great job.
It feels great to be younger than every employee that you have! I am the youngest manager, and the only female. Young, black, successful! I love it. Minorities are giving the old men in corporate a run for their money. Well, enough of tooting my own horn.
All I'll say for today is, whatever you choose to do with your life, do it BIG, no matter what it is. Make your work have a voice. If you are a barber, be the BEST barber. If you are a songwriter, make your songs MEAN something. If you are a secretary, be good at what you do. If you are good at what you do, you should never have to brag or tell others how good you are. Your work will speak for itself.

Taking the employees for good work? Excellent! I am sure it help build a more positive work environment.
Not too much more makes someone happy then to be acknowledged for something you did/said/whatever....

@ladynay...I try to do what I can. I understand that we all go through situations, and a little pat on the back goes a long way!

I just read your blog again for the first time in a while. This is no reflection on you...i just havn't been taking the time to indulge lately. I like your blog a lot. It' simple and true to self. Warm, relatable...like a nice unexpected phone call from a long distance friend over saturday morning coffe. I'm glad to hear you have someone who loves you, that your career is doing well, and that you are not selfish with your optimism. Thas wassup. Do ya thang ,Homie!!

You go! That is excellent. And then showing them your appreciation for their hard work on top of that -- as you know, that does not happen often.
