RE: The Thomas Kern Affair - Giving Thanks and Praise - We need to give more of it to those special few who are highly deserving.
Dear Colleagues, Members, Friends, and World-At Large:
Very few people give thanks and praise to the people who are most important to them. That is a sad thing.
Just as sadly, too many people either a) do not feel worthy of praise, or b) are not doing work or demonstrating any of the attributes that would make them praiseworthy... some people pretend (or are actually conditioned) not to really care. Praise, when sincere and direct, is no less important than any other form of compensation. I believe it is crucial.
I wanted to take a moment to make an example of my faithful friend, colleague and the Director Of Operations and Program Compliance Officer of TNNWC Group, LLC. - Mr. Thomas C. Kern, Jr. We laughingly and lovingly refer to him (when newcomers ask us "What exactly does Thomas Kern do?") as being our own Scotty in the engine room of the U.S.S. Enterprise, of STAR TREK fame. A better question for them to ask (in order to get a shorter answer) might be: "What doesn't Thomas Kern do?"
An excerpt from a letter which I sent to Tom follows:
---------------
Thomas:
Thank you for your never-ending diligence, perseverence, steadfastness and work ethic. We'll have to clone you. I've hired some Romanian scientists to do this --- I just might need some... er, ah..."samples" from you.
In friendship always,
Douglas
