Thanks for the wonderful comments.  I appreciate you taking the time to read the article and to comment.

Susan - I do think business people automatically flow with the times and currently expect employees to automatically give more. I had a conversation yesterday related to this idea that will become another post soon.  I'm afraid it's too easy to join in the tug-of-war rather than choose not to.

Ron - Thanks for the kind words.  The post was my wife's idea.  I was too busy watching the movies to make the connection. However, it does always seem to take a leader to act in the organization's best interests rather than just doing what's easy.

Jim - I remain amazed at the number of supposedly intelligent people that fail to understand that the best thing they can do for their revenue and share price is invest in their people.  Thanks for your insight.
