This morning, we had to tell our staff that a long time employee, loved and respected across the company, died on Sunday after a very brief illness. Those who heard as the news spread over the weekend were still working through disbelief, and those who found out today were stunned. Many reacted with deep emotion, a sure sign of how much she meant to all of us.
As I prepared some space on her desk yesterday for the memorial that we knew would spring up today, I noticed several quotes taped to her desk, tucked away just behind her keyboard. When I saw the one below, I immediately thought of sharing it through today’s Tuesday Tidbit.
“Lead people to their own greatness.” Through these words, she’s leading us still; let’s honor her memory by rising to the challenge.
Rest in peace, Leslie.
Tuesday Tidbits are weekly messages I send to my leadership team. They are generally short & sweet, often focused on leadership or teamwork, always positive and, hopefully, motivational. I hope you also find some meaning in them.
