When it Counts

In great tragedy, you find out the character of the people around you. This is when it counts. We recently had a devastating loss to our team. It was sudden and none of us were truly prepared for it. It was unfair to our colleague and her family. I was proud of my team and how they rallied together to get through the loss (Truly, we will never get over the loss of our friend and colleague). I was proud of how we supported the family while they were in the hospital. I am proud of our numbers at the wake and at the funeral. I was proud of how we supported each other. I was proud. For a time, all of the jealousies, squabbles, and conflicts that are part of working together were forgotten. Everyone supported each other. It is in time of tragedy when you will find out if the people around you can pass the interview. My team passed with flying colors. Can your team pass that interview? Let’s hope you never find out.

RIP M.T. 11/27/2018
