Here's one intelligent and wealthy man who knows how to be a good person and to give to people the money they deserve. And we need more of such people. His name is Leonard Abess, the President of City National Bancshares (It's a bank but I've never heard of it. But that's besides the point). I read in the newspaper that he donated US$60 million from his own money and shared it among 471 current and even former members of staff. How generous! What's even more admirable was that he did it discreetly without any publicity. But good news are meant to be shared. In no time, the news of him distributing the money to his staff leaked to the press. That's a lot of money. US$60 million is SGD$100 million. In other words, on average, each person gets SGD$212, 314! Whoa. He is quoted as saying, "I saw that if the president doesn't come to work, it's not a big deal. But if the tellers don't show up, it's a serious problem". So bosses, you know what to do. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Don't mistreat the hand that ensures your organisation is steady and stable. |
