Too often businesses get into a mode of functioning that not only works, but works too well. Sometimes you have to take a step back and re-evaluate your structure to see what pieces you're overlooking that could improve functionality. Thanks for sharing this story, it was very inspirational.

(I found this article when searching for the quote on the Internet.) Congratulations to the Hunters; I wonder whether they know that this was also President Reagan's motto -- which I witnessed firsthand on the special occasion of visiting his office in the White House -- there on his desk was a plaque with this motto on it! I've never forgotten the quote, or the impression it made on made to think of the President being guided by that idea. I decided then to strive for the same level of humility and action, but so far have not measured up to my own expectations. I am re-encouraged by reading about the Hunters and all they've done.

I found the idea of constantly checking our prejudices in our established relationships (as well as new) pretty challenging. There's a whole marriage seminar in there I sure! I'm always surprised when people I think I 'know' behave in a manner that I didn't expect. It usually happens when I have categorised someone as 'negative' or 'antisocial' then go on to be say incredibly sensitive or inventive in their dealings with others. Great article.
