“We need to build community chemistry.” R. LeBouef

My newspaper carried a front page story of a business where the employees decided to foresake their $20 per employee company paid holiday dinner and run a food drive instead.

What really jumped out from that story for me was a comment made by the branch manager, Ray LeBouef:

” the corporate rationale for the annual holiday dinner is that ‘it builds team chemistry. But I think we need to build community chemistry‘ ”

Thank you, Ray, and the employees of Tractor Supply Company in Coventry, RI, for brightening up my morning.
