I take every opportunity to appreciate the consultants working with and for me, and to remind them I have a lot of faith in them. In this case, a young consultant asked me to prepare her for a media interview. The occasion was the Iraq war, and the topic was managing the stress of the war at work. Here is her e-mail to me, and my response is below.

I spoke with the reporter this morning about managing the stress of the war on the job. Thanks for all the help Bill! As MasterCard commercials say, priceless!
