THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

LORD NELSON | 2007-09-01

Lord Nelson says, "Coach, I like the new look!"

I do too, LN. It was a pleasure for me to wake up each morning and look with surprise at what Pain and BoardAd and SysOps did last.

Let me REPEAT:

This NOT modesty on my part. It is a BRAG.

SysOps says listen to me on management, and I happen to know she is an expert in that area. REAL management means having the guts to find good people and trust your judgement on those people. Let them go at it!

Delegating involves, first of all, COURAGE.

MORAL courage.

That's why, after being president of giant union and then Governor of California for eight years, Reagan settled into a forty-hour-a-week presidency.

I didn't have a damned thing to do with the new look. And I'm proud to say it.

The theme is a brand new one we found, and free.

The logo is from Scott Goldsmith, who runs his Dixie Republic store in Traveler's Rest, South Carolina: http://www.dixieoutpost.net/

Scott drew the bug in between working with customers.

He used to read Bob religiously when he was still doing his weekly column and is planning to post a blog post on his website at least monthly.

He can also arrange to make t-shirts with a link to the website and a slogan that we here decide.

"He can also arrange to make t-shirts with a link to the website and a slogan that we here decide."

Slogan:

"7 words"

The mantra in miniature.
