I stumbled upon a fellow upside thinker in a most unusual place and discovered leadership at its best. Here's what happened....I needed to speak to a representative from a large agency and couldn't find the telephone number for the office I needed to contact. I tried several places to track down their number and was unsuccessful. I called information, scanned the Internet and dialed 411 again with no luck. Finally, I decided to call their sister organization with the hopes that someone working there would give me their number. I called, someone answered and was put on hold. (It didn't seem promising.) Within 2 minutes, someone else picked up and asked who I was holding for (definately didn't appear promising but I'm an upside thinker so I wasn't giving up.). After 5 more minutes had passed, the person who answered came back on the line and gave me the number!!! (There was no reason for him to research the number or help me out....unless he were an upside thinker.) I was speechless (but not for long)! I let him know how much I appreciated his efforts, thanked him for his U-Power and nominated him Upside Thinker of the Day. You could be next.....

Ride the Upside!
