Jeez - how do I top that comment Tracy! Well put as usual. After just spending two days with managers and supervisors at a logistics company, this article really strikes a cord. In amongst guiding and leading teams to meet performance targets as they have always had to do, there is another complexity about leading in the current economic conditions - keeping ourselves focused, positive, and resilient - and then helping our teams to do the same. Jules - thanks for the positive message and helping to bring one of our responsibilities as managers and leaders to 'steer the hope ship,' top of mind. Hey Jules.

You really have earned your stripes captain... thank you. If there is a leader who knows how to inspire hope, it is you Boss Chick, Jules Newton.

I so agree with what you have to say Jules, and you are so good at holding the energy for AVO! I think the beauty at AVO is that we all play a vital role in steering our ship! Lets keep the hope alive in each other! I got a sneak preview at the photocopier the other day. I so agree with what you have to say Jules, and you are so good at holding the energy for AVO!
