This question was posed to me by one of my staff when I started my career at Mayo Clinic. I joined Mayo after a 30-year career as a bank vice president in Chicago. A black manager, managing an all-white staff in Rochester, Mn. I thought it was an interesting question. I took the high road and gave an intelligent answer.
Someone said it best: “Life is like a camera. Focus on what is important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don’t work out, take another shot”. Keep your head up so your crown won’t fall!
