As we enter the long hot sum-mer of politics and read stories daily about cor-porate strategies, one common theme emerges: leadership. And there is seldom agreement about what real leader-ship looks like or who is best to

provide it.Why? My theory is that too often,

people in leadership positions fail to re-alize that every decision affects real peo-ple, not just the bottom line. Every good leader I have ever known has understood that they are leading people, not just an organization.

A couple additions to your reading list might improve your leadership po-tential. Authored by my friend, Marilyn Carlson Nelson, “How We Lead Mat-ters” is a collection of “remembrances of people and times in my life from which I’ve learned lessons that may provide some insight or guidance to others.”

When Marilyn became CEO of

Carlson - with brands like Carlson Wag-onlit Travel, the world’s largest corpo-rate travel company, Radisson Hotels, Country Inn & Suites and TGI Friday’s - she admits she had doubts that she could fill the role her father had bestowed on her. All who knew her were sure that she was up to the task. And her book is a treasure trove of how she handled situ-ations from Sunday school to meeting global leaders. Among the terrific lead-ership lessons in the 70 stories are gems like these:

• On a trip to India, Marilyn asked a businesswoman how she was able to ad-dress social issues in a country with such immense problems. The woman shared the story of Gandhi. His five possessions consisted of “a cloth garment, a walking staff, a broken pair of eyeglasses, a pair of wooden sandals, and a pocket watch. Yet he transformed the world with his commitment and compassion.”

• “It’s been said that the mark of a true leader is thinking well beyond his or her years, that is, establishing a leader-ship culture in an organization that be-comes the organization’s hallmark.”

• “When you are making a difficult decision, ask yourself if the decision you’re about to make would show integ-rity, leadership, caring. And if you make that particular decision, will you be giv-ing up on something you should con-tinue fighting for? ... Never forget that your role as a leader is to be a steward for future generations.”

Marilyn continues as Chairman of Carlson, and Carlson continues to grow and prosper. See a connection here?

A brand new book, “Love Works: Seven Timeless Principles for Effective Leaders” also emphasizes the critical relationship between leadership and a passionate, motivated workforce. Au-thor Joel Manby is president and CEO

of Herschend Family Entertainment, the company with more than 10,000 em-ployees that entertains more than 16 mil-lion guests at Silver Dollar City in Bran-son, Mo., and 25 other properties across America. Manby’s experience on the television program “Undercover Boss” reinforced his confidence in HFE’s workforce, but what followed was tru-ly enlightening. He received thousands of responses from viewers who had watched the show, many from people who wished that their workplaces were more like what they had seen on TV - “more respectful, cooperative, joyful, and well, more loving.”

Loving? How many of us can call our workplaces loving?

“The simple truth is this: there is a crisis of confidence in leadership. The level of dissatisfaction and even resent-ment present in the thousands of letters and email messages shocked me,” Man-by writes. “People felt as if they couldn’t trust their leaders and bosses.”

In a panel discussion by the So-ciety of Human Resource Managers, he explained what sets his company apart. “We actually use love to define our leadership culture at HFE. Not love the emotion, but love the verb. We train our leaders to love each other, knowing that if they create enthusiasm with their employees, the employees will in turn create an enthusiastic guest experience. I think most organizations avoid discus-sions about how people should treat each other, and I think that’s what is wrong with a lot of organizations. Why are we so afraid to talk about love?”

The seven principles sound basic enough: to be patient, kind, trustful, unselfish, truthful, forgiving and dedi-cated. But that’s where the simplicity

Harvey Mackay continued from page 2ends. The examples and stories are both inspirational and challenging. The chap-ter summaries are succinct checklists to keep you on track.

These two books define leadership in terms we aren’t accustomed to. But maybe they lead us to a better way to work.

Mackay’s Moral: If how you lead matters, remember: love works.

Mass of Christian burial celebrating the life of Brent Henry Lehnen, age 19 of Albany was held Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at Seven Dolors Catholic Church in Albany. Father Michael Naughton O.S.B. officiated and burial took place in the parish

cemetery following the service. Brent died in a car accident in southern Minnesota last Monday.

He also loved every minute of his time with friends and family. This included his pointless driving trips in his truck, dancing, training his dog Yukon, and hanging out with close friends at “The Ranch”. He also enjoyed every minute of his time working with his dad on his semi. As a sportsman, he lived by the motto, “If it flies, it dies. If it’s brown, it’s down.”

Brent is survived by his parents John and Rosanne Lehnen, Albany; his sister Brenna Lehnen, Albany; his grandparents LeRoy Feld, St. Joseph; Eugene Lehnen, Paynesville; Emma Lehnen, Paynesville; many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and his beloved dog Yukon.

22 East Third Street South, Melrose

By Saralee Perel“What the

heck is that?” my husband Bob asked, as I put four eggs in a metal bas-ket, then placed them in the small round porcelain appliance.

“It’s a Hankscraft egg cooker,” I said. “It was my mother’s. I think it’s from the fifties.” I put in a little water before placing the top on and plugging it in. After it started to steam, I got very excited. “When the steam stops, the eggs are soft boiled!”

The steam stopped. I carefully re-moved the eggs from the basket and sliced into one. It was raw. “They must have had a lot of salmonella in the fif-ties,” Bob said, and proceeded to take the remaining three eggs and put them in the microwave. After a minute he took them out and sliced into one. Do not EVER do this!

In a comedy of terrors, egg confetti exploded onto the ceiling, the floor and all over my eyeglasses. Fortunately, the cat flew out of the room in time.

“At some point,” Bob said, while picking yellow and white egg bits out of my hair, “you might want to consid-er getting over this ‘living in the past’ problem of yours.”

The Past. The Present. The Prozac.I’ve developed a nostalgic need to

appreciate the past. I know what this is about. I want to stop time. But fail-ing that, I want to bring the past into my present, not just to keep the past alive, but to have a sense of continuity for things that are a part of my generation that will live beyond me. It does con-tinue meaningfully, doesn’t it?

We cleaned up the egg splatters. It took three hours. Afterwards, I slowly sat down on the couch, holding my low-er back due to imaginary back pain.

“You’re talking yourself in to this funk,” Bob said. “You’ve never looked so good. Fifty doesn’t necessarily mean you’re at death’s door.”

“Believe me, Bob. Time’s going fast.” I pinched the skin together on the back of my hand. I let go. It stayed pinched. I took off my slipper and rubbed my new bunion. “I need tea. Can you brew me some with a Prozac infu-sion?”

“OK. That’s it,” he said, and yanked me off the couch. He spent the rest of the day doing his “glass is half-full” shtick. My tendency lies toward the brood-ing “half empty” side. I think his, in my opinion, naiveté and optimistic ap-proach is precisely why, at age twenty-six, I decided I wanted to spend my life with him. He is good for me.

Before dinner, Bob found me listen-ing to the same Zenith Bakelite radio that occupied the space next to the yel-low bread box in the kitchen when I was

six years old. “I love this,” I said, as I hummed along to an emotional Billie Holiday and watched Bob stir fry chick-en and broccoli.

“I wouldn’t mind hearing a station other than one that only plays torch songs,” he said, clearly aggravated at me at this point.

“OK.” I switched stations and began to sing along softly to Ol’ Man River.

“I get weary, and sick of tryin’ . . . .” Then I stood up, looked at the ceiling and belted out, “I’M TIRED OF LIVIN’, AND SCARED OF DYIN’ . . . .” Bob rolled his eyes, then rushed to the radio and shut if off.

I set the table with my grandmoth-er’s Steubenville china. I’ve learned lately that it’s good to use the good stuff. Plus, like so many things, it makes me feel a continued bond with grandma. There’s more to antiques than material-ism. Much more.

We sat down. “Let’s talk about something fun, for a change,” Bob said. “How do you want to spend your birth-day?”

“Having a colonoscopy.”A piece of broccoli fell from his

mouth to the plate. “What?”“Everyone’s supposed to have one

after they turn fifty.”“Oh great. I’ve got a good idea. You

have a colonoscopy and I’ll have a root canal. Then we’ll have cake.”

After dinner, I carefully washed Grandma’s plates and placed them back on the display shelf. I feel differently now about the things that I have that

once belonged to my loved ones. Like my father’s brass humidor. Inside it, I keep the tiny prayer book from his fu-neral and the torn piece of black cloth that the rabbi pinned to my collar as a heart-wrenching symbol of mourning. It still tears at my soul to this day.

And there’s my grandfather’s medicine scale. To an onlooker, it ap-pears simply as a beautiful antique - a reminder of the past. To me, it symbol-izes much of his life as a Russian Jew-ish immigrant, who couldn’t get patients to come to his New York City medical practice until he Americanized his name from Katzen to Kassen.

And the portrait of my paternal grandfather, which has his name em-bossed on a brass plaque underneath his picture. Mores Perel (1880-1935). When he came through Ellis Island un-able to speak English, he couldn’t spell the name Morris, so it was spelled pho-netically and that’s how it stayed.

After dinner, I soaked in a sooth-ing hot bath and gave myself a lecture. “You’re going to die anyway,” I said to myself. “You can either spend the rest of your life bummed out about the in-evitable or you can enjoy every moment you can.”

Soaking wet, I climbed out of the tub and reached to the back of the towel cabinet to find an old bottle of lavender

Saralee continued from page 5bath bubbles. I returned to the bath and settled back while the bubbles slowly reached the level of my chin. “You’ve got a wonderful husband out there,” I said. “You owe it to him and to yourself to do your damnedest to put these un-necessary blues behind you. Don’t waste any more time getting depressed about something you can’t do anything about!”

And so, feeling pumped, I got out of the tub, dried myself off and put on my favorite blue and white striped flannel nightshirt. I trotted into the living room to find Bob. He was standing on the couch so he could wind his grandfather’s old Seth Thomas pendulum wall clock.

He was crying. “What’s the matter?” I ran to him.

He apparently turned wrong because he fell off the couch and landed on the floor . . . still crying.

“My grampy used to wind this clock,” he wiped his eyes on his sleeve.

“Well, isn’t it wonderful that you have it?”

“I guess so.” And he went into sob-bing spasms like I’ve only seen when my two-year-old nephew lost his stuffed kitty binky.

“For God’s sake, Bob. Pull yourself

together!”He got up off the floor and went to

the freezer.“Sweetheart,” I grabbed his hand

before he opened the door. “You keep telling me to live in the present. To ap-preciate what is now!”

“That’s crap.” He wrenched his hand away and flung open the freezer door. He found the bag of mini Reese’s we had bought for Halloween, unwrapped it at lightning speed and began stuffing the candies in his mouth, three at a time.

“No, it’s not. This moment is all we have!”

“That may be all you have. But I have chocolate.” And he polished off the bag, wiping chocolate off his chin be-tween mouthfuls.

And so, neither Bob nor I have re-solved my cliché of a mid-life crisis. But there are three things we have learned.

1. It doesn’t do any good, and only does harm to bemoan the brevity of our years. As James Taylor says, “The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.”

2. Looking at my father’s humidor or my grandfather’s medicine scale cer-tainly makes me sad. But it also reminds me that I am a part of them and they are

a part of me and nothing, nothing . . . will ever change that. This is eternally comforting.

3. Reese’s are even better when they’re frozen.

Upsala 6th graders go to Duluth

The 6th grade class went on an over-night field trip to Hibbing, Tower, and the North Shore from the profits raised from their candy sales during the past school year. This field trip is an outstanding learn-ing experience.

The points of interest include:1) Hill Annex Open Pit Mine-Cal-

umet. This mine was open for about 75 years. Its existence spanned a period of time when iron mining technology changed drastically.

2) Tower-Soudan Underground Mine/Physics Lab. This is an underground mine 2,341 feet below the surface. Students travel to this underground mine in the same elevator the miners used. Students witnessed firsthand what mining was like underground before this mine was closed.

B) Physics Lab. This lab currently sends and receives Neutrionos from a similar lab in Chicago. This lab is ½ mile below the surface to take advantage of the depth of rock overhead, low background radiation levels and constant environmen-tal conditions.

3) Split Rock Lighthouse. Shipwrecks in the early 1900’s prompted the construc-tion of this landmark. Its setting is high over Lake Superior which is area of water considered to be some of the world’s most

Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson

This time of year sees many celebrations as our local towns, churches, and civic organiza-tions roll up their sleeves and host events that draw folks from near and far. It’s a lot of work for those who volun-teer their time to

make these events a success.We had grandkids visiting last

weekend as we took in a fire department fund-raiser in Forada and Lowry Days. The firemen working over the hot grill at Forada dished up some mighty good pork chops as hundreds of folks enjoyed their meal inside the clean and modern fire hall. Our 3-year-old grandson is fascinated by any kind of “wheels,” so he was especially thrilled to look at and touch a real fire truck, as they sat spot-less and shiny outside the fire hall.

The next day at Lowry, I was im-pressed by the young folks who were putting on many of the programs for kids. (Bear in mind, from my vantage point, anyone under the age of 40 is young.) Again, the firefighters were on hand letting kids try their hand at hold-ing a real fire hose spraying water into a large tank. They also manned a “smoke house” where kids and their parents

could learn how to escape from a fire in their home.

The youngsters also got to try their hand at a pedal tractor pull. All those who got on the various-colored tractors received a can of pop, and there were trophies for the top finishers in each age category. Spectators cheered each con-testant as they tried to move that sled one more inch. Several of the younger ones, those under four years old, were a bit shy and needed a bit of coaxing from mom or dad before they dared to walk out and take their place on the tractor. Even heard talk about a “state tourna-ment” somewhere for the top finishers.

This is a beautiful time of year in Minnesota. We have missed out on the huge rainstorms that have ravaged both the northern and southern parts of our state. The damage in the Duluth area is hard to comprehend as all of that rain in a short time coming down those steep hills surrounding Lake Superior con-tains an immense amount of destructive power. Cities and towns up there will need help in rebuilding roads and other infrastructure, while individual residents also get back to their homes and survey the damage.

Received a fact sheet on organic dairy farming from the University of Minnesota recently. According to their data, the number of farms producing or-ganic milk has grown by 42 percent in the past eight years. There are now over 150 organic dairy farms in Minnesota,

ranking us ninth in production in the United States. An organization called the Organic Trade Association says that organic food sales comprise 4 percent of the total food market in this country. The dairy portion of that total is one of the fastest growing segments of the entire organic food industry. At times this year, organic milk has been in short supply, caused in part by increasing consumer demand along with lower organic dairy cow production.

Have a safe and enjoyable 4th of July holiday. Enjoy the weather and our great outdoors!

A doctor completed a tour of our Gardens. As he was leaving, he stopped by my office to tell me how much he enjoyed his visit. And then he said to me, “You know, I don’t be-lieve in God.”

“Would you describe the God that you don’t believe in for me?” I asked.

He did, and then I said, “I don’t believe in that God either.”

I then said to him, “The God of the Scriptures is a good God. He will only do what is in our best interest be-cause He loves us.”

Our God is a great God. Nothing is too big for Him to take care of and nothing is so small that it escapes His attention. He can do anything.

Our God is also a gracious God. He loved us even when we did not love Him. There is no one in the world that is more important to Him than you or me, and there is nothing that we can do that will make Him love us less.
