It’s the oddest thing. I feel fine, even great most of the time, yet the doctors, the numbers my blood work provide, the mask I have to wear when I go outside or when I’m around people, all say I’m sick!

A recent meeting with one of my clients reminded me how one person with a bad attitude can hurt an organization.
If you don’t feel measuring employee engagement is important in your business please realize this. One person can dramatically affect the attitude of your people and undermine all the efforts you exert to improve morale and employee engagement.
My first full time job at a radio station in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin gives me personal knowledge of how one individual in the organization affected my energy, drive and faith in the organization I worked for. I was a full time sales rep, and Johnny Walker was our morning announcer. Since we lived close together and had recently been married we frequently got together after work and on the weekends to share beverages, dinner and other recreational activities. Invariably the discussion would turn to work. Johnny (not his real name) was ambitious. In fact he began to work part time in sales to earn more money before he eventually left the radio station.

One of the things I’ve prided myself on is carrying a good attitude and being positive no matter what this AML brought. Laugh, joke, smile and be thankful to the people who care for you and always expect the best. Always!!

Friday afternoon I finally put the finishing touches on my blog I’d hoped to have published much early. It was about how good it felt to be home again. I planned to publish it Friday. I felt good that I’d come home and spent 3 days with my family and my oldest son Dan who’d come in from Washington DC and met with an old classmate and client. I felt solid that I’d be able to adjust my routine and get my Strategic Discipline patterns established again in the safety of my home. I never published it.

Those of you who read A Lesson from Good To Great Stockdale Paradox – 3rd Biopsy Results know the results from my third biopsy were not what I’d hoped. Thursday evening late I got more bad news about the results from my fourth biopsy. What the doctors had hoped would happen, the good blood cells would return faster and denser than the leukemia did not occur. In fact the mass in my bone marrow increased to 20%, however the Leukemia cells (blast) increased from 71% of the cells to 82%.

Monday after 5 consecutive weeks tied to my little pole friend (IV equipment coaster) I was free for all of about 24 hours from it. I was ecstatic! Freedom! I could walk down the halls, to my bathroom, get up from eating without fear of being tethered to this anvil and have complete independence of movement. I can’t tell you how upset I was when I discovered at around 1 AM yesterday morning that I would be shackled to it again.
