The Chance You’d Want
Audio / Produced by The High CallingTranscript
Bob did not like Kate. People said she promoted herself more than her team. They said she was vain. Bob hated those qualities in anyone. And when he found himself teamed on a project with Kate, he was NOT pleased.
Funny thing though: at work alongside her, Bob saw a different Kate. Those rumors, he realized, were flat wrong. Who started them, anyway? Kate did more than work hard. She listened well. She shared credit. As time passed, Bob had to admit: he’d been taken in by the gossip—and the gossip was wrong.
This is Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge. To be open to loose talk is to close yourself to great possibilities. Give every person the chance you’d want . . . in the high calling of our daily work.
