Kindness at Work – Assignment #1

“And poor Mr. Potter,
T-crosser,
I-dotter.
He has to cross t’s
and he has to dot i’s
in and I-and-T factory
out in Van Nuys.” (page 24)

Consider the Quote: Every job has repetitious tasks that may seem tedious, even boring, so much so that we might do them on auto-pilot. But these are often the tasks that need to get to done to ensure the bigger projects get done.

Kind Action: Take a moment to observe and appreciate the repetitive tasks performed by a colleague that contribute to your ability to do your job. Recognize and express gratitude to this individual for their consistent and effective completion of these essential but often overlooked tasks.

Journal: Describe the significance of each team member’s contribution to the overall effectiveness of a team. You can focus on a work team or any other team, like the five basketball players on the floor during a game that have to work together well in order for any one of them to excel.
