SEVERAL WORDS OF THANKS (AND MY ENCOURAGEMENT TO THEM)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47QiRtvbf1M Having recently whinged about organisational problems, I desperately want to thank those senior managers, lawyers, supervisors and colleagues who do want to see me (and others) grow. Their value is inestimable, and, for me, deeply felt. _____ This includes the senior executive - in fact, a rising star - who (during a function) gives you genuine encouragement and advice, even if one is too immature fully to appreciate that advice without growing into it. This includes the highly experienced lawyer who shares a genuine affection for literature and thought, shaping one's own thought in the process. This includes the leonine supervisor who honestly strives to build one's self-confidence and tolerates less than jovial behaviour out of real concern and interest for myself as a direct report. And, crucially, other team members who continue to astonish by their own talents and initiative. _____ There is so much built into the "pipeline", as it were, talent only requiring a virtuous flow to be unleashed. _____ And, over trials and tribulations - perhaps, I should say 'trails' - these stars gird the firmament with their unique intelligence, candour and humanity. In sum, they are fun to be around! So, to those people, again, THANKS!!! : )
