I’m into exercise, but WOW! Check out the Raven.This guy runs 8 miles every day.

Every single day.

Without fail.

For over 34 years now and counting.

But here’s what I love. People tell him he’s obsessed - that it’s crazy to be so committed to making this run every day. He responds that he has watched the sunset every day and never been caught in rush hour traffic. Sounds like a healthy obsession to me.

It made me stop and wonder what I do every day - and what I’d like to do more of.

What a time we live in. I used to get interviewed by journalists writing about best bosses or how to break bad habits. Now they want me to talk about how bad economy leads to bad bosses. Well, the times they have a changed.

Just remember, be kind to your fretting frazzled boss. Most people I speak to these days are feeling more stress than at any other time of their lives. We could all use an oasis of kindness and peace. Your calm in the storm of this economy and marketplace sets you apart as a leader. Maybe if we all act with a little more calm and kindness I can go back to talking about best bosses.
