paid off. And every talk I gave since then, I always had a Dr. Seuss story and if I didn’t, boy, I was
asked for one (laugh). In fact, at my last day senior staff, we sat around the table, I guess –– every the
offiWhich is really kind of neat, but the point of the ce made their own Dr. Seuss poem for me.
story and emotional intelligence is people need a way to feel connected. And that simply created a
way. And so, you know, did anybody teach me how to do that? No! I didn’t know I was doing it. But
when I did it, I recognized it. I recognized that there was connectivity there, that you don’t get by saying
“here’s our agenda for the week, you do this, you do this, you do that.” And that’s my Dr. Seuss story.
(^) Here’s another example, this is my Anthrax
example. People will remember in Washington when there was the whole Anthrax mail episode,
where Anthrax was found in mail that went I guess to the Senate. A couple of postal workers died. It
was right after 9were working in a downtown building and we got - 1 1, within a month or two. We
mail from the same post office. And on one side of us was a congressional office building where many
of us ate launch because they had a cafeteria. They closed that down, told us it was only a precaution.
We weren’t supposed to worry. On the other side of us was the (name of building) where the Secretary
saw. And everybody thought that he would go down with the ship, and that we’d go down with
him. And everybody was just panhelp was when, certainly unannounced to me or icky. What didn’t
anybody else, 3 guys in moon suits show up, go down into the sub-basement and take samples from
the mail room, and secretly pass out medicine to the people that worked there. But “you shouldn’t
worry.” Well, nobody worried; everybody
