What You’ve Taught Me, Lesson Eight

Lisa Patrow    The best managers trust you to trust yourself.
                            A project is never more important than when it’s got your name on it.
                            If you want people to be the best that they can be, then let them be.
                            Great bosses convince you to wrestle the job from them.
                            You’re only as good as your last effort.
                            I’m willing to forgive as long as you’re willing to give.
                            The difference between the truth and bull___ is I’m not buying.
                            Tough comes in all sizes.
 
 
Jerry Gallagher   Pray for rain but keep on hoeing.
                                   Without the help of solid ground, the wind cannot appear busy. (Jerry is the newsroom’s rock!)
                                   Sure, you can break the rules, but first you have to know them.
                                   Many voices make the chorus.
                                   Somebody has to be the responsible one.
                                   Every wild bird returns to its roost.
                                   Some people are like compasses; a moment spent with them and you’re back on course.
 
 The Job Itself      I’ve made more mistakes than anybody here — I’ve worked here longer!
                                   There is money in doing a job, there is joy in doing a job well.
                                   If you’ve got one pretty picture, why not get another?
 
Dave Carlson     One picture is worth 10,000 words
                                It’s essential to highlight a voice other than the reporter’s in the first fifteen seconds of any edited
                                story.
                                The reporter’s track shouldn’t exceed one third of the packaged story.
                                Think outside the tackle box.
                                Just because it has a white trunk don’t make it a birch tree.
                                Loyalty is a dog’s way of saying “Thanks, Boss.”
 
                                A good idea is like a trout on a flyline; run with it, then reel it in.
                                When all else fails, go ice fishing.
 

                                Great souls do not fear change.

                                A man is measured by the size of his heart, not the size of the fish. 
                                Let go and let rerun.
