"My shver worked hard all of you worked hard and this company has never been in a better place” Dovi Gelber said his grin greeting everyone up and down the long table. “Change doesn’t mean we’re not doing well it means we’re strong enough to try new things.”

“Who’s ready to be bold?” Gelber said raising his voice a notch.

“Oh gosh. Is he pushing the used K-cups thing again?” Chaim whispered.

Braunfeld tittered. Abramowitz a hard-working chassidish fellow on Chaim’s left snorted.

Early on Dovi Gelber had earned the respect of the entire staff by replacing the old hot water urn with a gleaming Keurig coffee machine a sleek black-and-silver appliance that made the small kitchen appear sophisticated. He’d set up boxes of K-cups in all colors and flavors. “Now” he proudly exclaimed “no one will have to slip out for a ‘real coffee.’ We have our own little Starbucks right here.”

Then Gelber had ruined it by hanging up a sign in the kitchen requesting that staff members try using each K-cup twice before disposing of it. He’d quickly backed down removing the sign the next day but Chaim had never forgotten it.

Dovi didn’t even look in his direction now continuing his speech.

“By bold I mean we need to think differently to be open to trying creative ways to reach clients discovering new ways to service them.”
