Erin noticed that my neighbours prop their window open with a book called The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Maryanne, who works in HR, offered our friends 7 Habits of Highly Effective People training but no one could commit — except for Georgie, who already demonstrates many of the Habits of a Highly Effective Person. The other day, I peered over the neighbours’ fence. The book was gone, the window closed and a different window left open — one that stays open on its own.
