Thank you Dan.  I love the idea of building loyalty.  I guess that will take time.  The opportunities to stand behind people in a public forum are not always plentiful.  I think I have a great team and am happy to say so publicly.  I also think we can be better.  I am happy to tell them that privately.  I am hoping that over time I can earn genuine respect and loyalty based not on my title, but due to their belief that I act in their best interests in every way.  I struggle sometimes to balance what is in the best interests of my team with those of the constituents we serve and the organization we work for.  A tricky high-wire act...

Do you have this same struggle?
