Caring or trying to appear to care?

We hope that your next flight with us will fully meet your expectations.

Last week I had to go to Peru. During my return home the plane from Paris to London Heathrow was delayed by just over 2 hours. On the train from London to Ipswich, the penultimate leg of my journey, I received an apology email on my mobile phone. For a moment I was impressed but then I read it …

What would you have done if you had been working in the Post Office?

The family pet

The following email is going round the internet. We don’t know if it’s true. We hope it is.

Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month.  The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey.  She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her.  I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these words:

“Dear God, Will you please take care of my dog?  She died yesterday and is with you in heaven.  I miss her very much.  I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.

I hope you will play with her.  She likes to play with balls and to swim.

I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog.  I really miss her.  Love Meredith”.

Are you the lion or the ant?

The ant and the lion - a lesson in management

This series of images arrived in an email this week. Unfortuately there was no note to say who had produced them but they relate a telling story about management. There’s a big lesson in the story for those of us who are managers!
