In reply to Skip Prichard. Thanks so much, Skip! (and thanks for the heads up on the numbering-- oddly it was working on the back end ;-) fixed now. I'm a firm believer in hard work and the impact it will have.

Loved this post. Especially how you call out the solutions piece and respect if your peers. I have connected with many fired up personalities whom can call out any number of things that are wrong. But those that can stay fired up during the “grind”, when you many not have wins to keep the fuel burning, those are the ones that really stand out. Great post!!

Great post, Karin. I especially liked your use of “gung-ho,” which originally was derived from a Chinese phrase meaning “working together.” In that sense, “gung-ho” means that you’re “as excited about this work as I am” but that you’re also lending your efforts to make the team successful.

Love this post, Karin. I did laugh because you have 1, then 1, then 2. I thought maybe there’s a deeper meaning there. Rock stars consistently outwork, outperform, and outcompete others. They give just that little bit more, a little edge that keeps them in the top of the pack.
