Re: Chairman's Award -- is the bar too high now?

I am having a corny morning
So consider this fair warning:


It is uninspiring to catch,
A bar without a stretch.

Only Dreamers dare to go,
To levels they don't know.

So if the bar is still in sight,
Then height is set just right.

Great job to the Hall of Famers
Who found their moments to shine.

You will never find yours
If your wanting "To get mine."

Each year it gets more difficult
And thus more prestigous to win.

Most of us need to be ok
With stretching as "Our End".

I forget who posted this in another Chairman's thread, but this is a great question to ask yourself and worth repeating often throughout the year. "If they no longer gave out the award, would you still be doing what you are doing?" They were not referring to the documentation (although that is important too), but the actions that your team is doing. It is OK to say "no". I probably wouldn't have tried certain things, but after doing so, I am glad that we did them. I think that is why they give the award. As an incentive for us to try (and document) new things, and for the bar to exist that we are stretching to reach.
