Quote of the Week: Mean Dog vs. Good Dog

With many of us now fighting the dog days of summer, hoping to block their affect on morale and productivity, our quote is a question.

Which dog is winning?

Post it or the story on which it is based (below) on your computer screen (download instructions below).

A Native American Elder describes his inner struggles in this manner...

It’s true for the “dogs” that live outside of us as well. We can come up with good and bad in most every person, action, situation, etc. The one we dwell upon, think about, talk about or “feed” the most – that’s the one that wins. And when it’s the mean dog that wins, it’s hard not to lose morale and productivity.

Pass this story along to your colleagures. Talk about it. Post on the walls. Post on your computer (see instructions below). Post it everywhere as a reminder that the dog you feed the most will win.
