Facing the right demands

We had steak in Jack's Place last night. Because it was also Mother's Day weekend, we couldn't seem to get the server's attention. The server is scurrying all around us, but for some reason we can't catch his eye.

There are some sales people I know who are just like this incompetent server. They refuse to take the responsibility for hearing what's needed from them by their associates.

I know it's a cliche, but it's still good advice: make the time in quiet moments off the job to think hard and be imaginative in finding ways that put your gifts and values into play on what your organization wants done. Do this right and people will stay out of your way! They'll want you to do what you do best.
