I didn’t pick a quote during our manager’s meeting and ran into Jason Lerblance in back before sending this out.

He was taking the recycling out. He reminded me of how lucky we are for all those little things that Jason (and the rest of you) do around here.

It isn’t in his job description. In fact, it is something he could just walk on by (I don’t even notice the recycling bins and whether they are full or not). But he doesn’t. He spends the couple of minutes to put it all together and take it out.

And while I certainly want to recognize Jason for his efforts, he isn’t the only one. I am sure everyone has their own “little thing” they do around the office (if you don’t have one, just pick something and get started) to help out and pitch in.

All these little things are part of how we build a culture and attitude of service to one another and to our clients.

John Wooden has it right. All those little things make big things happen.

Make it a great day.
