I can remember when I was working at a major bank, towards the end of 10 years that I was there, when I worked for “Harry.”

I wrote a story about it so I won’t go into too much detail here but in short, “Harry” was long on implementing fear, not spirit. It made many of the employees jumpy, fearful and disrespectful. Not healthy.

Employees who are treated well seem more like a luxury than a commonplace, which is sad. That’s why leaders like Howard are valuable diamonds.

I agree that treating your employees as valuable to your company is something that all companies should do. So many don’t and you can tell by the large turnover in employees. I once worked at a bookstore for over a year. I am not bragging when I say that I was great at customer service. I always treated the customers the way that I want to be treated. After a year I finally got a raise to $6.00 an hour which is what McDonald’s starts their people out at. After a year I got tired of being treated as if I wasn’t an important part of their team and I quit. When I walk into that bookstore today, I can tell that things haven’t changed much. The people that work there seem so unhappy to be there.

Hello there! Yep, the Universe does rise to greet those of us who take a leap of faith, stay focused and keep the flame of passion alive.

I’ve seen the universe open its arms in ways I never anticipated because I went “with it.”

I’m sure Howard is thrilled to know you’ve signed up for his newsletter. His words won’t take up much of your time at all and the best thing is it’s refreshing, to the point and full of wisdom.

Yes, it is indeed fascinating to peek inside a CEO’s life!

I believe the best leaders have the ability to
SEE ability in others. I have no doubt Stephen
that Howard saw a very special spark inside of you.

Very interesting to see an inside peak into
the world and life of a CEO.
So often we tend to forget just how human
they are.

Looking forward to part 2, and I’m definitely
going to sign up for your newsletter Howard.
I subscribe to a golf newsletter and I don’t even
golf. There is always wisdom to be learned in
what we might consider to be unrelated topics
to our lives.

Since both of you commented on Howard’s dark side or lack thereof, I thought I’d respond to both of you at the same time.

You’re both right! If Howard’s wife can’t think of a dark side, well, then my goodness, Howard doesn’t have one!

I’m glad you thought Howard was an interesting subject for this interview. Me too. I’m fortunate to know him.

Welcome back to the world of blogging! I know you’ve been traveling extensively and it’s good to see you again.

Glad you enjoyed my interview with Howard.

Cheers,
Ash
