As soon as I understood the gravity of my situation (or
lack of ), I made it a habit to go into my office and talk to each
person every week. I remained continually positive, upbeat,
and cheerful. I told them what was going on, my course of
treatment, what was likely to happen, when I would lose my
voice and for how long, and every other detail.
As a result, although people were worried, they continued
to be positive and carried on the business of the company as
though everything was quite normal
