Would You Do It Again?

Most Saturday mornings, I meet with a group of guys for some discipleship time.  Now "discipleship" might be stretching a bit -- at the moment, we're going through a non-Christian book (but by a Christian author), Integrity by Henry Cloud. In a section on "trust," and "character," the question comes up about someone you've hired before; "would you do it again?"

That got me to thinking about a lot of the wonderful people I've had opportunities to work with through the years.  Going beyond just who I've hired, I got to thinking about everyone I worked with, or for.  Which of those people would I eagerly jump on an opportunity to work with again?  I'm sure this is an incomplete list, but any of these people are on my "wonderful" list and I would love to work with them again!  I'm specifically leaving out people who I currently work with, well...because that just wouldn't be fair.

Who's on your "I'd absolutely do it again" list?

* I'd already started working on this post and had Jeff Barber in mind.  I'd lost track of him and was wondering where he was.  Last night I ran into him at a restaurant!

** Cheryl has been doing some contract work for us.  Monday, December 3rd, she's coming back on staff, so here's a case where I do get what I want!

I was almost a little hurt, well until I saw the caveat at the end... :)

On a similar note I've been working on "attitude" lately. Sarah asked me tonight, who made my day today. Interesting way to come home and count your blessings.

Scott, I know I've left great people off the list. I was pretty intentional about "current" people because, well..., if I don't list 100% of the people I'm currently working with, that may give a bad message (right or wrong). Trust me, you're on a special list, just not this one! :-) Seriously, you are definitely in the "I'd do it again" category.

So...tell me more about this attitude thing and Sarah's question. Do you try to pick a person who made your day, every day? That's an interesting idea. (I'll have to show you where I track my daily "highlights," which may or may not reflect a person)
