Book of the Week

This is a good time of the year to read A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.

However, you may want to try something out of the ordinary, how about Fezziwig: A Life by my friend Danny Kuhn.

Guitarist Boff Whalley said, “Let me be clear: the song “Tubthumping” was written to celebrate the resilience and tenacity of working-class folk who keep fighting when the chips are down.Source: Wikipedia)

Extraordinary Person of the Week

This week I chose one of the greatest managers of all time.  One that I tried to emulate myself, but never came as close as I had wanted.

Mr. Fezziwig

Here is an exchange one of Mr. Fezziwig’s employees had to say about him in an exchange with a spirit at a Christmas Work Party.  I wish every employee could speak this way about their manager, but unfortunately many can’t.

Spirit, “A small matter to make these silly folks so full of gratitude.”

“Small!” echoed Scrooge.

Spirit replies, “Why! Is it not? He has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four, perhaps. Is that so much that he deserves this praise?”

Scrooge, in defense of Mr. Fezziwig, “It isn’t that, Spirit. He has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light of burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. Say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ‘em up: what then? The happiness he gives is quite as great as if it cost a fortune.”
