When war broke out between Spain and the United States, it was urgent to communicate with the leader of the Insurgents, Garcia. The problem was that Garcia was somewhere in the mountains in Cuba and no mail nor telegraph could reach him. The President found a man named Rowan and sent him to Cuba with one task: \u201cCarry a message to Garcia.\u201d Without any questions, Rowan took the message, entered hostile territory, and 3 weeks later came out on the other side of the island having delivered the message to Garcia.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_2309\" style=\"width: 185px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2309\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-2309   \" style=\"margin-top: 5px;margin-bottom: 5px\" alt=\"\u00a9iStockphoto LP 2013\/koun\" src=\"http:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/iStock_000007411496XSmall.jpg\" width=\"175\" height=\"175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/11\/iStock_000007411496XSmall.jpg 347w, https:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/11\/iStock_000007411496XSmall-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/11\/iStock_000007411496XSmall-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 175px) 100vw, 175px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2309\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9iStockphoto LP 2013\/koun<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nRowan was given a task and without hesitation, got the task done. Even though this story is over 100 years old, this simple message still has relevance today.<br \/>\nThink about your shop or office. If you are given a task or a problem arises, do you question, whine, or ignore it? Or do you just do it, taking the situation head-on and figuring it out? What about if it is something that is not necessarily your responsibility? Does that mean that task doesn\u2019t need resolving?<br \/>\nWith a mentality like Rowan\u2019s, you build trust with your co-workers and team. With a mentality like Rowan\u2019s, you inspire diligence and loyalty. This week, I challenge you: can you carry a message to Garcia?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-1504\" style=\"margin: 5px\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Jake3-150x150.jpg\" width=\"67\" height=\"67\" \/>Reman Wingman<\/em> Jake Jankowski might crack jokes in the office, but he shows his more serious side this week in this first Reman U article.
