In other words, dad is a tough act to follow.
To say the least.
Alright, here are more media examples of people having to fill other people’s shoes:
1. Last Friday an icon up and walked away. Fred Stickel, publisher of the Oregonian, left his office, rode down on the elevator, walked through the main lobby and out the front doors. He continued down the sidewalk to his car. Got in and drove away. Waiting for him along his exit route were an emotional staff and well-wishers. Almost all will miss him. Though not a face in that crowd, I’ll miss him too. He’s the kind of person you try to emulate — even more so if you’re a publisher.
I met Fred at a publisher’s meeting over 25 years ago. We were listening to a major account discuss how they would like to be billed on the success of their advertising. When I asked the account the definition of success and by whom, he answered, but not really. Feeling foolish, I didn’t press for the answer. Then Fred piped up, “Answer his question.” That’s the kind of no-nonsense yet gracious person he was to do business with.
At another function, we were having dinner together. I was lamenting to Fred some editorial staff problems. His simple answer, “Editorial problems are the toughest battles you’ll fight.” He was right and taught me to take a deep breath before swinging from the heels. Sometimes — don’t swing at all.
Over the years I learned much from Fred Stickel. Mainly how to be a gentleman, have integrity and respect your associates. And through some very tough situations, nowhere does it say — be rude.
