When the volunteer group had called and cancelled Sunday morning, Ted felt absolutely duty bound to demonstrate his service-oriented style of leadership by helping out with the emergency. This was just part of working in the world of non-profits and volunteers.
Board meeting was Monday night following the Gala and they praised both Ted and Michelle with great accolades; the two stood side by side glowing in joy. It was true. They loved their jobs. They loved what they were accomplishing together and they worked incredibly well as a team. Weekly staff meeting came Tuesday night. Then Ted got hung up with an unruly client and a police call on Wednesday evening. So by the time the end of the week came around he had been away from his family the bulk of it and the mood was even more tense at home.
