A traveler nearing a great city asked an old man seated by the wayside, “What are the people like in the city?” “How were the people where you came from?” The old man asked. “A terrible lot,” the traveler responded; mean, untrustworthy, detestable in all respects.” “Ah,, “said the old sage, “You will find them the same in the city ahead.” Scarcely was the first traveler gone when another one stopped and also inquired about the people in the city before him. Again the old man asked about the people in the place the traveler had left. “They were fine people, honest, industrious, and generous to a fault. I was sorry to leave.,” declared the second traveler. The wise old sage responded, “So you will find them in the city ahead.”
And so, my friends, let me ask you as we charge ahead into a new decade, “What are the people like in management where you work and how do you find the workers?” – Art Fettig
