“Many years ago, while reviewing a draft of a report I wrote, Jim pointed out to me that I was using too many superlatives, which detracted from my message. But if I’m to be honest in my comments about Jim I have to ignore his good advice. For the last 15 years I have been Jim’s colleague, his supervisor, and his friend, and he is one of the most principled people I know. His objectivity is uncanny. His analytical skills are amazing. His understanding of how organizations actually and SHOULD work are, in fact superlative. He believes everyone has something to contribute because he believes in community. Success is a shared responsibility to Jim. His dedication to learning is inspirational, whether it is his own learning or his role in helping to educate others. He motivates by example because Jim really cares about people. Would I hire Jim if I hade the opportunity? Without hesitation, and I’m not exaggerating.”
