9/30/99 – A Trip Down Memory Lane

Dealing With a Teammate’s Passing
It is 9:02 a.m. the day after one of our teammates lost their fight against cancer. Everyone handles the emotions around this kind of event differently, which is the first point of this post —leaders need to give people space to mourn in their own way —and for me, that means turning this morning to writing.
