He pushed me to grow and develop beyond what I believe I was capable of, at the time. He saw more in me then I saw in myself. His desire to drive me to be the person / leader he saw (vs what I saw) developed me into the top performing leader that I am today and drove me to expect more from myself and the teams, resulting in top notch execution for my Company. John is a large reason for my career progress to date and I can honestly say that my exposure to his leadership was well worth all the challenges that it came with. If you are not being challenged you are being ignored and dismissed.<br /><br />It’s too bad you did not see the “Gift” you had in front of you and were not able to take advantage of it. However, not everyone sees or capitalizes on their opportunities and learns from what others have to offer with regards to leadership.<br /><br />Good Luck Anonymous.<br /><br />As always, good leadership example John.J Wonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05813698634507557219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574186837508212099.post-39281105043490712952014-02-11T11:37:45.642-05:002014-02-11T11:37:45.642-05:00Well I just had to slip into this oily mess.

The funny thing is that I also reported to his wife Barb at one time. I picked-up many things from John that have helped me out. Even today, there are times that I may think to myself "how would John handle this?".Rolandonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574186837508212099.post-22651283427655950842014-02-11T11:19:43.880-05:002014-02-11T11:19:43.880-05:00Good morning Anonymous,
Thank you for voicing you...Good morning Anonymous,<br /><br />Thank you for voicing your opinion. The blog tool always me to remove your comment but that would not open a fair debate. I have found that 95% of the people I have worked with find it a challenging but growth experience. The other 5% find it a very unpleasant experience. There are few times when a leader can satisfy everyone so I was coached that is an unrealistic goal. <br /><br />John Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13628653965740158626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574186837508212099.post-19739958879112814902014-02-11T10:56:53.537-05:002014-02-11T10:56:53.537-05:00Dear anonymous 1,
