Comment on Encouraging Poor Judgment

Thank you for checking. One source I checked shows that the US exceeds Ireland no matter how you count: on fatalities per capita, per vehicle, and per mile driven.

The statistics support your observation. In Ireland, there are about 8.5 deaths per 100,000 people and in the US, that number is closer to 15.

I like your style, the fact that your site is a little bit different makes it so interesting, I get fed up of seeing same-old-same-old all of the time. I've just stumbled this page for you :-D

Comment on Back-stabbing, Loyalty, Self-preservation, and You

I agree. Loyalty is earned by those "who have given you their best." And "giving people a chance" does not preclude allowing them to fail. We all make mistakes. Furthermore, we need to take risks which can lead to failures. But we also need to be able to recognize when we or someone we work with "can't deliver." Ignoring or denying the situation damages the organization and the individual players.

Interesting take on loyalty. Such a complex topic.

Loyalty is earned. I think that you get to fail a few more times when you've earned loyalty.

Ann, this is a topic I often discuss with Seth Isman at the Hilltown CDC. He has lots of clients who do not yet have a Web site. To someone like me who has had a site since roughly 1996, it is astonishing how far into the sand some people still have their heads stuck! Keep preaching the word!

Thanks for the link.

There is also an iPhone app now that allows you to take a picture of a check you want to deposit and then submit it directly to your bank. I will be a big fan when my bank offers this capability!

I expect more and more great things from my iPhone.

This article serves as a good reminder of three points that should be on any salesperson's checklist: Be professional, be alert to the responses you're getting from your prospect and don't talk your prospect's ear off. Thanks for the story.
