Greetings!
In recognition of this past Sunday being Mother's Day, I decided to share a lesson that Ursula Burns said her mother taught her at an early age.
"Leave behind more than you take."
Ursula Burns, CEO, Xerox Corporation
The above thought is definitely worth considering as we interact with people at work, in business endeavors, personal situations and brief encounters. Are we leaving "more" with colleagues, managers, friends, family members, and even those passing through our lives for only a short period of time?
The "more" can be words of encouragement, creative suggestions, valuable advice, needed help, a simple smile or any of the many other ways we can cheer up or be of value to those around us. So are you leaving more than you are taking?
