    Aloha Liz, mahalo plenty for including Talking Story in this edition of your SOB Business Café. That post now has the record for the most private email a blog post has sent my way: micromanagement is quite the hot button for folks! So I hope my tips prove helpful, and appreciate your sharing it here.

    I look forward to reading your other recommendations; thank you for your kindness and generosity.

    Hi Rosa,
    I can see why that post got so much response. It is outstanding. I’ve been thinking about the same thing for quite a while now. Maybe I’ll write my own. :)
