Sleepless in Seattle

Mon, November 14th, 2011

This past week I had the privilege to see the inner sanctum of three major organizations in the Emerald City of Seattle that are known world-wide.  I entered the “geek” capital of the world when I visited the Microsoft Corporation, and what I saw blew my mind.

 

[Microsoft headquarters]

 I was not in the same line with them when God passed out our brains.  Wow!  Of course, I didn’t understand the entire “tech rap” that was taking place.  All I know is that they are continually innovating and creating new technologies that will help change the world for the better.

One such gadget is a pair of glasses that actually translates for you visually when you are in a foreign country hearing someone speaking a different language.  You can now actually communicate without Rosetta Stone!

 

[Kevin Turner]

But I was most impressed with their Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner.  He is a clear-cut, hands-down servant-leader bent on continuous improvement for self, others, and the world.  Over the next few blogs I will share some of his thoughts on leadership.

    George,
    What great insight about leading self before you can be a servant leader to others. Placing value on self is the first step. Those who do not value self will rarely receive value from others.
    Take care, my friend.
