Normally, I had to surf the net for a long while to obtain the specific information for my small research work. And yet today, I merely typed a few words related to the subject of my work, pressed Enter on the keyboard…and…LOL! Your website showed up on the very first page. And then, I am boastful to say that it merely took me a couple of hours to complete my project work; at other times this normally had taken me a whole long day to do so. Really thanks, buddy! I appreciate your work extremely. This has to be a very lucky day for me. Normally, I had to surf the net for a long while to obtain the specific information for my small research work.

Actually, I'm currently at the Outer Banks with five kids six and under and I was lucky to be able to write anything. Take care. Nick Dear Marty,

If you ever need a good consultant who spells LUCK as Lack, give me some consideration. Actually, I’m currently at the Outer Banks with five kids six and under and I was lucky to be able to write anything.

Take care.

Thank you for your kind words and support. My second book is coming out soon, but I'm afraid it will only serve to lighten your day because I have decided to dedicate it to one thing, fun and stories about growing up, raising kids, and grandkids. Take care, Nick Dear Diyah,

I recently sent you an e-mail through the blog@ windmere. Will you still be able to access that or do I have to resend the e-mail message. Thank you for all you are and aspire to be.

Just goes to show you that it's still an industry where bigger is better . . . or at least more visible. Paul and I have been blog buddies for a long time. Thanks for adding me to the bloglist. If you're interested, I have been writing for hospitalimpact.org for years and years. Just hit the search on that site with my name and you will get years of opinions. Good lack and if you ever need a great consultant, let me know. Nick Thanks, Marty, the irony of your note was that I was the first hospital CEO in the world to have a blog.

As an "up and coming" CEO of a large teaching hospital, the balancing act that must be performed on a daily basis is constant challenge at best. It is somewhat comforting to see a colleague who is able to validate the thoughts and feelings for which many of us can relate. I too have started a blog earlier this year in following Paul Levy's lead and it has been a very helpful tool in connecting with our staff and trying to deal with the issues that we all are facing. I look forward to reading yours going forward for further inspiration and will add you to my bloglist! As to your mentor's advice, that is something that I need to learn as well - thank you!

It's been one of the most difficult issues with which I have dealt. First was the bully mentality, second the lack of willingness to accept change, and finally, the complete lack of long term loyalty. When someone appears to have talent, and a leader goes way way out on a limb to give them a chance, one would think that they would be somewhat appreciative, at least appreciative enough to be loyal, but it has become an "EVERY PERSON FOR HIM OR HERSELF" mindset, and more of the "I've made it now, the hell with you," response. The list of people with whom I have had this experience could fill this website over the years, and that is very disappointing. Nick Thanks, Benjamin.
