By Harvey Mackay

“Trust flows from individu-als, not organiza-tions.” That’s the best summary I can provide of David Horsager’s hot new book, “The Trust Edge - How Top Lead-ers Gain Faster Results, Deeper

Relationships, and a Stronger Bottom Line.”

Why is this book so valuable? The topic couldn’t be more timely. In my opinion, the most important five-letter word in the English language is spelled T-R-U-S-T. It’s so critical, publisher Si-mon and Schuster’s Free Press has made it their leading business book this fall, with a publish date of Oct. 9.

Want another reason why I think it’s so important? I know Dave Horsager, and I trust him! He is the perfect author for a book on this topic. He has been studying the topic for ten years, and we can all benefit from his research.

Let me give you a sample of his wis-dom: “Trust defined - Trust is the confi-dent belief in an entity:

• To do what is right • To deliver what is promised, • To be the same every time, re-

gardless of circumstances.” I can’t imagine a person staying in

business very long without trust from every angle. Your customers have to be able to trust you. Your employees must

trust you. Your vendors must trust you. Even your competitors must trust you. It’s that simple. If any of those relation-ships break down, close your doors and find another way to make a living.

Horsager says, “Without trust, the transactions cannot occur. Without trust, influence is destroyed. Without trust, leaders lose teams. Without trust, organi-zations lose productivity, relationships, reputation, talent retention, customer loyalty, creativity, morale, revenue, and results.”

As he was studying top organiza-tions and leaders, Dave discovered that some had a clear advantage over oth-ers. “Those leaders or organizations that could weather storms, charge higher prices, maintain respect with customers and clients, and foster long-term growth were special,” Horsager writes. “The greatest leaders and organizations of all time have had the same competitive edge. They were trusted.”

He confirms what I have learned over my decades in business: trust doesn’t happen overnight. “While it may appear to be static, trust is more like a forest - a long time growing, but easily burned down with a touch of careless-ness,” he says.

How many times have we seen once-powerful, successful companies felled by business decisions that caused any of their constituencies to lose trust? Bear Stearns and Lehman Bros. come to mind. Investors and employees trusted them - and we know what happened next.

Several years back I wrote about a study by Forum Corporation, which

Horsager also cites as evidence of the importance of trust. Using hundreds of salespeople from eleven companies in five different industries, the investiga-tors found that the unique trait of top producers was honesty - not charisma, ability or knowledge.

For as long as I have been in busi-ness, I have believed that the most charming, most educated, most techni-cally astute sales and business people will be abject failures unless all those traits are wrapped in honesty. When we trust people, we are optimistic not only that they are competent to do what we trust them to do, but also that they are committed to doing it. They will be to-tally honest with a customer even when it is difficult or potentially costly. Their reputations are more important than any deal.

Harvey Mackay continued to pg 3

Want an edge in business? Study the Trust Edge

Hometown News • Thursday, October 18, 2012 • Page 3

In that spirit, Horsager has identified the eight pillars of trust that are key attri-butes of successful leaders: clarity, com-passion, character, competency, com-mitment, connection, contribution and consistency. He includes terrific advice and even study questions to drive home every point. In other words, as Horsager says, “The Trust Edge is the competitive advantage gained when others confi-dently believe in you!”

David Horsager“The Trust Edge” is extremely well-

organized, with terrific and easily relat-able examples, providing convincing support for his points. Useful graphics like tabbed pages lead you to specific chapters and sections, and also remind you on every page of the eight pillars of trust.

This book has arrived not a moment too soon for the trust crisis we are facing in the world. Developing and cultivating trust is fundamental to a successful busi-

Harvey Mackay continued from page 2ness, personal relationship, or even a functional government. Trust me, if you follow David Horsager’s advice, you’ll have an unbeatable edge.

Mackay’s Moral: Doing the right thing is never the wrong thing to do.

Sandee E. LovenSandee E.

Loven, 69 year old resident of Swanville, MN passed away Wednesday, Oct. 10 at her home. Mass of Christian Burial for Sandee Loven was held Monday at 10:30 AM at St. John’s Catholic Church in Swanville

with Rev. Ron Dockendorf and Rev. Tony Kroll officiating. Burial was in Springbrook Cemetery near Swanville.

Sandee (Tabatt) Loven was born on January 19, 1943 in Duluth, Minnesota to Charles and Agnes (Klosner) Tabatt, the second of eight children. Sandee grew up in Little Falls and Brainerd. She attended grade school at St. Mary’s Elementary in Little Falls and Little Falls High School graduating with the class of 1961. After graduation, Sandee worked for Loretta’s Dress Shop in Little Falls until November of 1966. On Thanksgiving day November 24th, 1966, she married Royal Loven at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Little Falls. Along with being a full time home maker and “mom”, Sandee did the scheduling and

book keeping for Loven’s Photography from 1970 until 1983. In 1983, Sandee and Royal took over Loven’s Auto Center, and Sandee became the book keeper for that business, which she continued to do until June of 2012.

Sandee loved to read, but her greatest love was her family, friends, and especially her grandchildren. Her grandchildren knew all they had to do was ask grandma, and she would do it. Whether it was riding a “stick” pony down thru town or to volunteer in the Swanville Elementary Kindergarten class where she was known as “Grandma Sandee.” She was a member of St. John’s Catholic Church in Swanville.

Left to cherish her memory are her husband Royal; sons, Kyle (Kari) Loven of Rogers, MN, and Jay (Heidi Jo) Loven of Swanville, MN; grandchildren, Lexi, Kelsey, Carter and Kam; parents, Charles and Aggie Tabatt; sister Audrey (George) Newman, Wendy (Rich) Waltman, Gwen (Bill) Mauer, Michelle (Steve) Duncan; sisters in law, Bunny (Lee) Tabatt, and Amber Brown; father in law, Ray Loven; along with many nieces and nephews.

Sandee was preceded in death by her brothers Lee Tabatt and Chucky Tabatt, her sister Luella Leblanc, and mother in law Dee Loven.

Arrangements were with the Shelley-Gibson Funeral Chapel in Swanville.

Bertha was born February 10, 1912 in Bruce Township, Todd County, MN to the late Frank & Elsie ‘Kriz’ Vavra. She grew up and attended school near Burtrum, MN, graduating from Burtrum High School. After graduating, she worked at Gillette State Hospital for crippled children. She later took personal care of several cancer patients. During WWII, Bertha was employed at Hudson Manufacturing Co. and also at Rockford Mitten & Hosiery Co. in Rockford, IL. Bertha was united

in marriage to Warren ‘Jack’ Bain on July 16, 1946 in Little Falls, MN. After their marriage, Bertha worked for Herb Nelson Grocery Store in Swanville that is now Bob and Frans. The couple also farmed in Culdrum Township until 1973, when Jack’s health declined. The couple then moved to Swanville. Jack passed away on July 13, 1989. Bertha moved to St. Otto’s Care Center in Little Falls in February, 2009. She enjoyed fishing and gardening. She was a very kind, sweet lady who always greeted you with a smile.

By Saralee PerelI love falling

asleep on cold autumn nights. While I’m drift-ing in slumber-land, packs of de-mented, vengeful wild varmints assemble in one corner of my

backyard. They’re having military stra-tegic arms talks.

In my little world, there is no racism or prejudice. All God’s creatures band together as one … one voice, one spe-cies, one purpose. Which is to systemati-cally destroy me.

My little beasts spend their lives plotting. And in return, so do I.

It’s MY land, I tell you! It’s MINE!!!! Sorry. I’m getting a little carried away. I don’t get much sleep in the fall, so I’m a tad more insane than usual.

Let’s start with everybody’s favorite. The raccoon. My little masked monster has the cloned brain of Stephen Hawk-ing. He can not only figure out the com-bination of every lock I’ve had welded (WELDED! Did you read that?) to our garbage can, he can open it, get what he wants, close the lid and re-set the lock to

Wild Kingdom: One Family’s Battlea new combination so I can’t open it the next morning.

I hear him giggling at dawn.Now, I want to explain something so

that every nerdy (oops) wildlife specialist doesn’t hate me. I don’t want to kill the bands of animal swat teams surrounding my house. My goal is much more envi-ronmentally friendly and sound. I want to get back at them. And I will spend all the money and time it takes to do it.

We have snapping turtles. You won’t read about them in any pretty tourist guidebook. You know why? You think they’re called that because they’re in bad moods and get a little snappy? No.

These prehistoric looking things are over a foot long, and if you go anywhere near their head, they spin at lightning speed and snap even faster than light-ning.

We have one in our yard who’s a dear little being, soft and warm as a sum-mer’s day. He likes to lurk. So I have to get on my hands and knees every time I approach our car, which is his favorite lurking spot.

If he’s under there, I coo softly, “Here, little sweet turtle.” Then the gargantuan reptile does what turtles do best. Nothing.

Every day my hus-band, Bob, takes a big shovel and gently coax-es the turtle out from under the car. This only takes the better part of TWO hours.

Please excuse all my capital letters. I’m not myself. It’s that rotten Screech Owl’s fault. He keeps me up all night. He does this on purpose. Hour after hour, I fling open the bedroom window and yell, “Stuff a sock in it, you lousy owl!” Last night, my neighbor called the police.

Many years ago, I tried luring Purple Martins to our yard. It cost me $357 dol-lars to do this. As a gift for Bob, I sent

away for a Martin house from a gar-dener’s supply catalog. This came with


For years my wedding ring has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it’s time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward. -Erma Bombeck

Saralee continued from page 7seventy-five thousand screws. Bob did not like this gift. But he was gracious and put it together, which took six years. With excited expectations, we raised the beautiful bird house high above our backyard pond. Within an hour, a com-mon house sparrow began nesting in it.

By the next morning, her nest was complete. Then I did what any selfish egocentric human would do. I took it out. But I knew she had worked hard on it, so I carefully placed it in the tree next to the bird house. By evening, that nest had been moved. Where was it? Back in the Martin house. I was angry at the bird and unwilling to spend a fortune on a fancy mansion for sparrows. She and I went back and forth for three days. But twig by twig, she repeatedly replaced the nest back into the Martin house.

Eventually, I realized this: Momma Sparrow worked hard enough to deserve a $357 home, and that is what she would

have. And so it was. It was because of Momma Sparrow

that I completely changed my way of thinking about the wildlife in the yard. It’s their home turf, after all.

And now, every year since my turn-around, the best mornings are when I awaken Bob by saying, “I heard the Great Horned Owl,” or, “The bullfrog’s here,” or “I think a rabbit’s in the wood-pile.” But the most special mornings of all are when I tap him gently on his shoulder and whisper, “The sparrows are in their home.”

Some children were teasing a red-headed classmate. One taunted, “Why do you have red hair when your brothers and sisters have brown hair?”

“My parents adopted me,” he said proudly.

“What do you mean adopted?” asked another.

“I grew up in my mom’s heart in-stead of her tummy,” he explained.

Long ago, even before He made the world, the Bible tells us that God choose us to be His very own, and made a place for us in His heart.

Ever since we were born, He has kept His eyes upon us, His ears open to us and His arms outstretched for us. And He says to each of us, “I have loved you with an everlasting love.”

Have you accepted His love and been adopted into His family? His arms are open and He is waiting for you.

Many of us are familiar with the statement, ‘What you don’t know won’t hurt you!’ Or the similar statement, ‘Ig-norance is bliss!’ Although they may be true pertaining to some things, for the most part they are false.

It seems as though many who pro-fess to be Christians are ignorant to ‘Truth’ because they choose not to know what God says in His Word. Could it be that there is an innate fear of knowing it? That perhaps our blissful sinfulness that we enjoy would have to stop if we really knew the truth and took it to heart? Do we have a fear of that truth hurting us and spoiling our fun in the world?

Romans 1:18-32 spells it out very clearly that ignorance to God and His provisions are not bliss- that we are without excuse! In fact, the wrath of God at this moment is being revealed against the wickedness of men- in the world in which we live. Romans 1:25 says ‘they’ exchanged the truth of God for a lie. ‘They’ in these verses are re-ferring to the people who claim to know God! ‘They’ did not think it was worth-while to retain the knowledge of God, so He ‘gave them over’ to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

Jesus came to live among us, suffer and die on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead to free us and give us vic-tory over death; He paid the debt that we owed. If we truly believe this and

Ignorance is NOT Bliss -By Sheila Ripplingerprofess Christianity because of this be-lief, we will be hungering and thirsting for righteousness, and desiring to know God’s will and His ways through His Word, the Bible.

If we claim God as our Heavenly Father through our faith in Jesus Christ, we should be setting our sites on our heavenly home, and not the idols and lusts that this world is offering us.

It should bring us grief and shame when we misrepresent and dishonor the Name of our Lord by our sinful actions and attitudes.

When we stand before the Judge of our souls on that soon coming Day, ignorance will not be an acceptable ex-cuse! What we deliberately chose Not to know, may indeed hurt us.

Ephesians 4:17&18: So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.

Deadline for Next Thursday’s Paper is Monday, Oct. 22

Marriage AmmendmentBy Peter Heidgerken

I have read many articles on the pros & cons about the amendment. As a catholic, we received a letter stating why we should be in favor of a constitu-tional amendment in keeping a marriage between a man and wife the letter was from Bishop John Kenny.

What bothers me why do most dem-ocrats oppose the amendment and re-publicans favor marriage between a man and wife. I know President Barack Hus-sain Obama came out in favor of Gay Marriage so did Governor Dayton. Was it because he wanted the gay vote?

So what are the benefits of Gay Marriage? Do they want to raise chil-dren like married couples? I have no problem with Gays they can have their Unions. Why married? Because they want the same benefits as married cou-ples. To have children but how? Two women I suppose you can find a man or go to sperm bank. No Father? Two men Adopt? No Mother? What Next?

Now here is the real problem. If this amendment gets passed, In school or anytime in public, you will be called be Co-parents. Not mother and father. If you don’t believe me, check what hap-pened in Canada which had a similar bill passed. You cannot say father and moth-er in school. You must say Co-parents. What Next?

By Patricia SeifertIn the last couple of weeks I have

had the opportunity to attend a couple of Townhall meetings, one at the Grey Ea-gle City Hall and one at the Long Prairie City Hall. I appreciated the three gentle-man, Senator Paul Gazelka, House 9A Candidate Mark Anderson and House 9B Candidate Ron Kresha taking the time to come and discuss issues and con-cerns with the people at the meetings. It was a time to ask questions and voice opinions and get to know a little about the people running to represent Todd County at the State legislature.

I am just sorry that more people did not take some time to meet and talk with these men.

When you go vote think about that. Marriage is between a man and a wife. To raise children and be called family; not Co-parents.
