As long as you continue to live it and persist to apply it, you'll continue to accomplish great things. Achieving financial objectives, overcoming the challenges imposed by tax caps, winning Gold Medal Awards and inducing a spirit of overwhelming internal and external customer satisfaction are by-products of striving for quality and excellence in everything you do and demonstrating integrity, respect, compassion and cooperation while you do it. If you think that you or your agency are falling short, reevaluate your ethical practices and refocus your resources around those you serve. If you do nothing else, embrace the ideals of the Golden Rule and personally hold yourself to a higher value system. The strategy works at park districts and the message is applicable in life.
Today is a new day.
Go forth and add to the world.
