Monday Morning Meetings

To facilitate an effective and smooth running week, every Monday morning there is a meeting where representatives from all departments come and discuss issues, and catch up on the latest gossip. I get in the earliest in my department so attendance to this 8:00 am meeting belongs to me. Our director Ron Harris leads the circle of trust going around and asking each of us if we have anything to say about our department. He always finishes it with wise words from something he learned that week, or what he has been thinking about. A book has been circulating in the work place called "Good to Great." Ron quoted some of the book and I particularly liked this saying...

"You can accomplish more things if you don't care who gets the credit."

I think this can be applied to anything in life, but here at work he wanted us to work as a team. I am getting the book on CD from human resources. It seems like a great read. I will let you know more about it when I start listening to it. After this meeting I think i will start coming with words of wisdom to say. I never have anything to say because since I started running the lab it's been smooth sailing! Jk...but seriously
