A famous organist was per-forming a concert on a huge antique organ in front of a large audience. The bellows were hand-pumped by a boy seated be-hind a screen, un-seen by any in the vast audito rium. The first part of the performance

went very well, and at intermission the organist took his bows as the listeners applauded enthusiastically. During the break, the musician rested in a side pas-sageway. The boy came out to join him.

“We played well, didn’t we, sir?” the boy asked.

The arrogant musician glared at him. “What do you mean, we?”

After the intermission, the organ-ist returned to his seat to begin his next number. But as he pressed his fingers

down on the keys, noth-ing happened. The bel-lows produced no wind, and so not a sound came out.

Then the organist heard a whisper from behind the screen: “Say, mister, now do you know what “we” means?”

Out of the mouths of babes, as they say.

I’ve written more than a dozen columns over the last 18-plus years on the importance of teamwork. You might wonder what else there is to say. The simple answer: plenty! As long as projects require the efforts of more than one person, we’ll keep talking about teamwork.

Michael Jordan, in his book I Can’t Accept Not Trying, writes: “There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles. Most of the time, those players aren’t will-ing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, in the end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individual goals more difficult to achieve. One thing I believe to the full-est is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.”

In Japanese culture, institutionalized conflict is an integral part of Japanese management. At Honda, any employee, however junior, can call for a “waigaya” session. The rules are that people lay

their cards on the table and speak direct-ly about problems.

Nothing is out of bounds, from su-pervisory deficiencies on the factory floor to perceived lack of support for a design team. “Waigaya” legitimizes ten-sion so that learning can take place.

Teamwork begins with the hiring process. Ask interview questions that uncover teamwork skills. Listen for sto-ries or examples of “we” accomplish-ments, and unless the candidate was a one-person shop, the answers should include clues to a collaborative attitude.

A team approach requires a specific set of skills and behaviors from your workforce. Lone wolves and mavericks may not mesh well within a team envi-ronment, so when you’re hiring people for a true team, ask these questions:

• Why do you want to join this team? Look for people who are interested in the goals of the team, not on achieving success on their own. Find out what the candidate has done in the past, and what

other work options he or she has consid-ered.

• What relevant teamwork experi-ence do you have? Teamwork skills usually carry over across departments or industries. Probe to find out how the person has worked cooperatively with others in pursuit of group goals.

• What’s most important in work-ing on a team? Teamwork means differ-ent things to different workers. Find out what teamwork skills the candidate val-ues - communication, reaching consen-sus, cooperative decision-making - and discuss these in depth.

• How have you handled conflicts on previous teams? No team functions without some disagreement. You’ll find out a lot about your potential teammate by exploring his or her approach to, and experience with, conflict between team members or between the team and other parts of the organization.

Certainly, sports provide easy exam-ples of teamwork in action. But perhaps the most visible example of how much a team values contributions of every-

Harvey Mackay continued from page 2one involved in great success is when the time comes to award championship rings. A few years back, I spearheaded a committee to save the men’s golf pro-gram at the University of Minnesota, which was scheduled to be eliminated. That same year, at impossible odds, the team won the NCAA men’s golf tourna-ment. I don’t wear much jewelry, but the championship ring that they generously presented to me never comes off my fin-ger.

Mackay’s Moral: We is a little word that sends a big message.

By Dr. John C. Maxwell

On April 10th Bobby Petrino, still red-faced from road rash and embarrassment, was fired as head football coach at the University of Arkansas. Ten days earlier Petrino had

wrecked both his motorcycle and his career while on a drive with his mistress and co-worker, Jessica Dorrell. Petrino, a married father of four, had failed to disclose his affair with Dorrell when she applied for, and later accepted, a job working on his staff. In addition, Petrino had circumvented university policies to fast-track hiring her. He had requested and received a waiver to bypass a stipulation that open jobs remain vacant for 30 days prior to interviews being conducted. Moreover, unbeknownst to the university, Petrino personally had given a $20,000 gift to Dorrell during her first week on the job

so that she could buy a car. Sadly, Petrino’s crash-and-burn

is only the latest in a series of moral breakdowns occurring in college football. Several other prominent programs have suffered leadership failings over the past three years.

Penn State: Longtime head coach Joe Paterno and school president Graham Spanier were fired in November 2011 for their part in covering up the misconduct of former coach and alleged child molester, Jerry Sandusky. The school’s athletic director and one of its vice presidents also resigned as a result of the scandal.

Ohio State: Head coach Jim Tressel was forced to resign in May 2010 after falsely denying his knowledge of improper benefits received by players. Ohio State’s football team has been banned from making a postseason appearance in 2012 as a result of the incident. Additionally, the program is serving a three-year probation.

North Carolina: In March 2012, North Carolina was penalized with a loss of scholarships, placed on three years of probation, and banned for postseason play after violating

Personal Accountability: Putting the brakes on moral breakdownnumerous NCAA rules. The program engaged in academic fraud and one of its coaches allegedly accepted bribes from professional agents. In the scandal’s aftermath, the university fired head coach Butch Davis.

USC: Head coach Pete Carroll resigned in January of 2010 with Southern California’s football program under investigation for having lacked oversight of its student-athletes. In June 2010, the NCAA imposed sanctions which included the loss of thirty scholarships and a two-year postseason ban.

In each of the above situations, coaches and/or administrators abused power for personal and professional benefit. Initially, we might be tempted to stereotype these leaders as unethical egomaniacs obsessed with winning at all costs. However, closer examination would show us a far more complicated picture. Joe Paterno was revered not only for winning football games, but also for the stellar academic record of his players. Butch Davis cleaned up the University of Miami’s tarnished image while coaching there from 1995-2000. Jim Tressel was highly esteemed on account of his personal philanthropy. The point is that some of these men were great leaders, even models of integrity, prior to losing credibility. However, each ultimately lacked something every leader, even the most well-respected, cannot do without: personal accountability.

Developing Personal Accountability

People want to be known as honest, hard-working, trustworthy, and competent; I doubt anyone starts

a career intending to lie or cheat their way to the top. However, as leaders we are determined to succeed, and if we’re not careful, our ambition can overshadow our vision of the moral person we aspire to be. We can lose track of who we are as we strive toward what we desire to accomplish. Personal accountability means being answerable to our “better selves” or to the sort of honorable human being we would like to be. Developing personal accountability involves three steps:

1) Distrust YourselfIn my experience, leaders who

fail ethically share a common trait: a false sense of security. They believe themselves to be incapable of ruining their lives on account of flawed character. Wise leaders do not trust themselves to do the right thing all

John Maxwell continued from page 6of the time. They know that power corrupts, and they’re fully well aware of their fallibility.

Don’t presume that you’re too good of a person to have a moral breakdown. Instead, realize that you’re just as vulnerable to ethical missteps as anyone else. Operate under the assumption that you will abuse your influence as a leader unless you intentionally take precautions to guard against the darker side of your ambition.

2) Set Behavioral BoundariesLeaders are not only accountable

for their actions, but also before their actions. Certainly, leaders should be willing to explain their actions after the fact. However, they also must be prudent enough to prevent morally inappropriate courses of action from ever presenting themselves in the first place.

3) Invite InspectionWhen leaders do not inspect

themselves, people do not respect them. However, moral authority demands more than self-inspection. Accountable leaders give others permission to inspect their behavior; they’re proactively transparent.

The more leaders grow in influence, the less likely their teammates are to disagree with their decisions or to question their behavior. People automatically assume a legendary leader will do the right thing. For this reason, highly successful leaders have to be especially diligent in surrounding themselves with trusted advisers willing to speak the truth.

ConclusionAs a Japanese proverb instructs,

“The reputation of a thousand years may be determined by the conduct of a single hour.” If you’ve not taken steps to safeguard your reputation, start today by asking yourself the following questions:

1) What behavioral boundaries prevent me from abusing my influence as a leader?

2) To whom have I given permission to scrutinize my actions and to question my decisions?

Dr. John C. Maxwell has authored over 30 books, including such New York Times best-sellers as “Failing Forward” and “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.”

When Jeff Johanson, a conservation officer with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in Osa-kis, received a call that three men were catching and keeping a lot of fish near Lobster Lake in Douglas County, he suspected something was fishy.

“The Turn-In-Poacher (TIP) call on June 7 said that the suspects had been fishing for several hours, appeared to be keeping everything they had caught, and were making multiple trips to their vehicle with buckets of fish. It got my attention right away,” said Johanson.

The TIP call included important in-formation: a description of the suspects, a vehicle license plate number; that one of the suspects had left in the vehicle while the other two suspects continued fishing in Lobster Lake; that the third suspect was now fishing at nearby Lake Mina.

The TIP information was invalu-

Agency cooperation, TIP call land anglers over the legal limit

able, but Johanson wondered if he could get there in time, so he contacted Ron Boyden, a Douglas County Sheriff’s deputy. Boyden agreed to check the Lobster Lake location while Johanson traveled to Lake Mina.

“I can’t express the gratitude we (conservation officers) have for the lo-cal law enforcement agencies that are always willing to assist us at the drop of a hat,” said Johanson. “This case is a great example of that much appreciated cooperation.”

At Lake Mina, Johanson caught up with Xin Ke Guo, 34, of Fargo, ND. Guo did not have a Minnesota fishing license. A check of the vehicle led to a bucket containing numerous sunfish.

At Lobster Lake, Deputy Boyden discovered that Guo Bin Chen, 34, also of Fargo, and Mengan Wang, 37, of Brooklyn, NY, didn’t have Minnesota fishing licenses, but did have plenty of

sunfish.The three men had 116 sunfish, 15

largemouth bass and two rock bass in their possession. The daily/possession limit for sunfish in Minnesota is 20 per individual. Restitution value for the fish totals $1,040, making the violation a gross misdemeanor overlimit of fish. Conviction of a gross misdemeanor car-ries a maximum fine of $3,000 and one year in jail. A trial date has been set for July 30 in Douglas County Court.

It wasn’t the first time that Guo and Wang have been cited by a Minnesota conservation officer. In 2008, Xin Ke Guo was issued a citation in Wilkin County for fishing without a license in possession and issued a written warning for possessing smallmouth bass during the closed season. In a separate incident in 2008, Mengan Wang was also issued a citation in Wilkin County for fishing without a license in possession.

“This is a real loss for the people who enjoy fishing Douglas County lakes,” said Johanson. “These lakes pro-vide anglers a close to home place to

fish. It’s vital that people obey the rules so there’s plenty of fish for everyone to catch.

“This situation shows that people are watching for violators at these wa-ters, and that DNR conservation officers take these cases seriously,” said Johan-son. “Also, there are some pretty hefty fines and restitution associated with not obeying the rules.”

Those who see possible fishing vio-lations in Minnesota are encouraged to call the Turn-In-Poachers hotline at 800-652-9093.

BraggingThree little boys were bragging

about how tough they were.“I’m so tough,” said the first boy,

“that I can wear out a pair of shoes in a week.”

“Well,” said the second little boy, “I’m so tough, I can wear out a pair of jeans in a day.”

“That’s nothing,” said the third boy. “When my parents take me to see my gramma and grampa, I can wear them out in a hour.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters “Operation Mentoring” Now has Formal Agreement with Camp Ripley Training Center

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cen-tral MN received a contract from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delin-quency Prevention (OJJDP) to provide mentoring services to youth of military families. This includes: National Guard, Reserves, and Active-Duty. Named “Op-eration Mentoring” the contract aims to provide funding for the support of new mentoring relationships between adult mentors and youth who have a parent in the military (National Guard, Reserves, Active-Duty or Gold Star Families).

Big Brothers Big Sisters recognizes that military families sacrifice a lot to protect and serve our nation and feel it is their duty to ensure that their families and children are taken care of in their own communities when they have dedi-cated their lives to defend us and our freedoms. Studies show that children need support from at least three non-parental adults in their lives.*

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Minnesota and the Camp Ripley Train-ing Center have entered into a Memo-randum of Understanding (MOU) to better serve the families of military per-sonnel through Operation Mentoring.

Combining the Big Brothers Big Sisters’ expertise in mentoring and the resources of Camp Ripley Training Cen-ter, both will contribute to changing how

children of military families can grow up to be successful and contributing citi-zens.

“Camp Ripley is very excited to enter into this collaboration with Big Brothers Big Sisters. We see this pro-gram as a safety net for military families. We highly encourage military families in Central Minnesota to take advantage of this great opportunity. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Minnesota is a quality, nationally recognized program and we are lucky to have them as partner.” Maj. John Donovan, spokesperson for Camp Ripley.

Ann Matvick, Program Director for Big Brothers Big Sisters states “This formal contract strengthens our efforts to work with military families both now and in the future. We continue to be com-mitted to providing safe, supported men-tors for kids, knowing that our program makes a huge difference in their lives.”

Wade and Sue Bastian, and their son, Joe, can attest to such a situation. Joe was matched with a Big Brother during the elder Bastian’s deployment to Iraq.

“It made me feel better knowing he had a male to do guy things with and who was a good role model,” said Wade Bastian, a retired Major in the National Guard who was deployed from 2005-07.

His wife, Sue, reiterated that sentiment and said the experience helped Joe have a positive male influence that he could spend time with and talk to if need be.

If you are interested in signing up your child or volunteering as a men-

tor for this program please contact Big Brothers Big Sisters at 320.253.1616 or bbbscentralmn.org

Imagine having a seizure in school, or not being able to drive to work be-cause of seizures. People with Epilepsy live with these realities every day.

Epilepsy, also known as a seizure disorder, is more common than you’d think. One in 26 people will develop Epilepsy at some point in their lives. Two million Americans, and more than 60,000 people in Minnesota and North Dakota, have Epilepsy.

You can help! Join the stroll for Epi-lepsy on August 9, 2012 at Lake George in St. Cloud. Form a team and help us raise funds and awareness to help over-come the challenges created by Epilepsy. Visit www.EFMN.org to register today.

2012 Stroll for Epilepsy

Highway 23 Paynesville Bypass set to open July 20

The Highway 23 Paynesville By-pass will open on Friday, July 20, more than a month ahead of schedule. Crews will begin removing barricades to the entrances and exits at 9 a.m., and mo-torists may access the new roadway by noon, weather permitting.

“The project wasn’t scheduled to be complete until August 31,” said Bill Knofczynski, project supervisor. “The mild winter allowed the contractor to get an early start, and that helped put them ahead.”

Motorists traveling east on High-way 23 will now access Paynesville on Veterans Drive, formerly known as First Street, and westbound access will re-main the same. Although the roadway will be open, crews will still be operat-ing in the area.

“Work includes vari-ous touch-ups along the bypass,” said Knofczyn-ski. “The western end of old Highway 23 will be removed and converted to a cul-de-sac, but none of the remaining work should have an impact on motorists.”

KGM Contractors Inc. constructed the 7.5-mile, four-lane divided bypass, which is located north of New London from Kandiyohi County Road 6 to west of 263rd

Avenue in Paynesville. Work included grading, paving, constructing eight bridges and lighting.

The Highway 23 Paynesville By-pass will improve mobility and safety for motorists traveling along the High-way 23 corridor and allows Highway 23 to remain an important connection be-tween Willmar and St. Cloud.

The city of Paynesville will host a grand opening celebrating the complet-ed project in mid-August.

Deadline for Next Thursday’s Paper is Monday, July 23

One morning a mother was running late for an appointment. Wanting to look her best, she asked her son to polish her shoes. He did such a good job that she wanted to reward him. So, she gave him a dollar.

As she was putting on one of the

shoes, she felt something strange. She reached into the shoe and discovered her dollar bill. With it was a note that read, “Here’s your dollar back, Mom. I did it for love.”

Love has ears to hear the sigh of the sorrowing. It has eyes to see the needs of those who are suffering. It has feet that run to others to show mercy. It has hands that extend themselves to help others heal. It has a heart that can feel the pain that others are enduring. Love always forgets self to serve others.

If we are not serving others, we do not love. God’s word tells us to “love in deed, not words alone.”

May we each show more of His love every day.

Would like to thank these donors for their generous support of our June 2nd, 2012 Fishing Tournament. We had a record turnout of 147 kids fishing this year with beautiful weather. The Freeport Family Fishing has

stocked over 65,000 4-9 inch Walleye fingerlings in area lakes in past years. This is all possible because of your donations to our Adopt-A-Fish program. Thanks to all of those who have participated and helped make

this possible. We hope to see you all again next year on June 1, 2013. Visit our pier on Kings Lake, installed in 2008. Thank these area businesses when you stop in to see them:
