But if you are indeed as enthusiastic for the process and the product (which I don't doubt), and others take notice, then perhaps you ARE inspiring some feeling of responsibility and enthusiasm, even if you aren't completely aware of it. Perhaps the process of delegation and empowerment that you speak of will be the key to make it work. Trust your people. Thommy:

I wish I could get to this goal a bit faster.. It really takes time to employ changes and make them stick. I end up doing too much myself instead of delegating the responsibility and often find it difficult to inspire the same feeling of responsibility in others that I have for both the process and the product. I try to be in front as a good example, but it takes time. Thanks for the reminder of Drucker's insights. They are still inspirational! “The ultimate test of an information system is that there are no surprises.”
