I was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to speak at the Midwest Lotus User Group (
MWLUG) conference a few weeks ago in Chicago. One of the things that really stood out to me was how humble the people were that came up with the idea to have a Lotus user group conference in the Midwest. At the opening session, Gregg Eldred and Richard Moy explained how they had come up with the idea for the conference. Both Gregg and Richard went out of their way to ensure that everyone who was involved with organizing the conference was given credit for the work they had done.
Neither Gregg nor Richard bragged about what they had accomplished in creating and organizing the conference. I know they both spent a significant amount of time pulling the conference together and executing it. These people are true leaders. They took the initiative to develop and execute their plan for a Lotus conference and spent zero time telling everyone how much work it was for them to pull it off. It is clear they put in thousands of hours to ensure the conference was a success. In today's day and age, it is rare that people don't toot their own horn. Hats off to Richard and Gregg for doing such a fantastic job with the conference and for being so humble about the extraordinary amount of work they put into the conference!! Job well done guys! You are true leaders.
