Yesterday was Mr. Rogers birthday. I was reminded when asked what the secret to his success was, he responded with:

Um, kindness? Is that really material for a professional post? Wait for itโฆโฆ.
Kindness = connection = high performance team (or juggernaut of cohesive, effective execution). As a bonus, it elevates individual performance as well.
Thank-you to everyone I have worked with that was kind to me. It made a difference.
