While I was waiting for my INTERVIEW in a reception area, a pizza delivery man, a young guy, dressed in a T-shirt and jeans carried a heavy pack of pizza boxes and water bottles. He struggled with the door, I jumped up, but before I could help him, a receptionist let him through. 5 mins later I am sitting in the interview conference room, the pizza delivery man walks in. He extends his hand for a handshake and says "I am Greg Tagaris, Chief Information Officer of DoubleClick. Sorry I am a little late, I was taking food to my guys. They are working without lunch because we have technical problems. I saw you trying to help me, thanks". He offered me a job right at the end of the interview, and I accepted, without negotiation. You can tell a good boss very quickly by how they treat other people. Greg was one of many good bosses I had a good fortune to work for.

Cool 😎
Wow! That's so sweet of Greg. Bless his darling heart.
I had a similar experience 15 years ago when I was a young designer and I had to work overnight with a bunch of colleagues due to a severe failure we found in our system. Our Manager remained with us all the evening and brought up a pizza to support our efforts! Despite the stress I felt I still remember it as a great team experience and my trust and esteem for my manager grew a lot.
Thank you for sharing an inspirational event in your life. Congratulations
I think that's one of the traits of a good leader.
A good boss will always juice up your best qualities both personally & professionally
Motivating...
