What I have learned about people and organizations...so far.

But wait, their is someone I can train after all.  It is me!  Whether we are a business person, a parent, a minister, or a mate, there are some fundamentals of behavior that others ought to be able to expect from us.  There is a bonus benefit, too.  When we focus on how we treat others, we won’t have as much time to moan about how others are not living up to our expectations.   

Remember Paul?  No, not McCartney, but Saint Paul.  He had some great advice for what others could expect from us.  After talking about the less then marvelous behaviors most of us exude at one time or another, he challenged his audience to focus on nine dynamic qualities.  He told them to project love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance.
