Amongst the Stars
For Christmas my wife gave me a quality telescope. In the cold of last night I went out and gazed at the sky. Amongst the many twinkling stars was a bright, steady, off color light. I aimed the telescope in that vicinity, zeroed in on the object and focused. It was Saturn with its rings crisp as one can see. A sight to behold.
I started thinking about organizations, leadership, and the stars in an organization. Sometimes the contributions of an individual are hidden or masked (in this case as a star)from ordinary view. When you drill down into an organization you start to see the individual contributors, the team players, all the stars who, collectively, make for a bright sky and future for the company.
