John came to work yesterday but was unusually excited to tell me something.

Remember when I first started working here?

We were beveling one day, and when I had something to say, I would turn to you and stop beveling. I noticed that you only stopped beveling when you finished a piece and picked up another.

You said we were only productive when holding the glass on those big rotating wheels. We can talk and bevel at the same time.

That thought has followed me throughout my life, ever since I joined the Navy, worked for other companies, was a police officer, and especially my personal life.

John is one of the most efficient people I know. He is always thinking, thinking, and doing.

Working in a creative environment, we share a common direction, but it is most productive when inner-directed people work as a team.
