A Friday Shout-Out: Trevor’s in the New York Times!

It’s always a great moment when the writing of one of your fellow friends and bloggers gets recognized in the national press.    In an interesting way, we share in that success because of the supportive environment we’ve nurtured - almost like a family would with a brother or sister.

So it was especially gratifying to see that my good friend across the pond, “Mr. Simplicity” Trevor Gay, was mentioned in none other than the New York Times the other day.   Trevor and I have known each other now “virtually” for nearly two years, and I’ve found him to be a wonderful writer who brings a warm and fresh perspective to the craft of leadership, a perspective that I greatly admire and respect (and learn from).

The mention was in association with Trevor’s book, “Simplicity is the Key“. The NY Times was outlining the distinctions between a good boss and a bad boss, and Trevor’s lists of the attributes of each type were quoted directly from the text (along with a link to a blog post he wrote on the subject).

I’m as proud as I can be that Trevor got this well deserved recognition, because his messages about leadership are such good ones - that the “soft stuff” is vitally important, and that we should trust and support our front line staff.

Simplicity indeed.  Well done Trevor!

Just remember us when you make the NY Times bestseller list.
