They their people sitting back behind you. I think your sincerity in the work you have done, certainly i am not going to question it. I am reading, this is from dr. Heaney and armstrong. They quoted Peter Drucker and said the greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence but to act with yesterdays logic. The question was, where is the big idea. My question is, where is the big idea . If youre right to come and ask for technology money, that is a cursory thing they found. When they pull the testimony of the people on the questions, you are going to be embarrassed and my guess is you will not want to, and as for that money. My question to you is, where is the big idea . Where is the vision . It is a big idea. It may not sound as such, but it is back to basics. Back to delivering safe, Quality Health care at timely manner, knowing where we can achieve it and where we cannot. An open engagement from partners, a veteran Service Organizations were not mentioned enough today, b
Line, you find our staff are so engaged. I think their passion is unequaled. What percentage of the staff of veterans that work at the v. A. . Over 1 3 of our staff are veterans themselves.

So if you get people who are about 180 degrees apart on the cover of your book, it means that this is not just something that you do on a haphazard basis, but you actually believe in people relationships, regardless of their ideology.

A few years ago we went to maryland to profile a company that did something unusual, they completely opened up all of their books to their employees and shared almost every piece of financial information, and when times got tough they found out this policy created loyal employees and amazing results. Now the founders are taking another step to get their employees involved, they are turning everybody into an owner. The year was 2009. The recession was shutting down the economy. And everyone at this marylandbased designed build company took substantial pay cuts. We took 20 from the employees and 30 from management and anthony and i participated at 50 . They were desperate. Back then, we didnt know how long the recession was going to be but it was a strategy to buy us time. My thought was holy crap. I had been here eight months. All of a sudden we are getting pay cuts, who was
