“My preference is that the manager is the person who is the bellwether for vision because that’s their job for the group. It’s not just that you know what the team needs, it’s that vision defines career path and you need to know, as early as possible, what it’s going to take to keep a future hire engaged. A strategic isn’t going to be with your team long because you simply don’t move fast enough, whereas a tactical is going to be happy as long as you keep the work relevant and constant.”

“Our Mothers

Your eyes see hope for tomorrow
Your hearts are made of gold that many wish to borrow
Your minds sharp enough for others follow
Your hands ensure that children grow

Your feet go places where some cannot know
Your courage makes you stand where strong winds blow
Your presence becomes warmth, regardless of the snow
Your influence can be felt within a stone’s throw

You hold nothing back for whom you protect
You speak words with good intent
You treat others with so much respect
You fight and never retract

You pursue a path that keeps your faith intact
You fulfil dreams and make a significant impact
You pass through tough times while remaining steadfast
You conquer battles as you pray and fast

You instil discipline that becomes a great shield
You serve others until they succeed
You give inspiration among those who bleed
You understand that you are rearing a rare breed

You plant and nurture the right seed
You help attract breakthroughs with speed
You care for those in need
You touch lives, indeed

You lead your own to be great every step of the way
You play your role very well, even without a pay
You smile as if every day is your pay day
You exude wisdom and put it on full display

You save generations from going astray
You run your race just like in a relay
You pass the baton with no delay
You carry so much worth as you get to be gray

Hence, we salute you, our Mothers”
