Karin Holstius and Pentti Malaska:
To John Darling
The essence of the human soul,
darling John,
is to be a driver
analytical, expressive
But not least
an amiable social styles creator
just like you,
darling John
Speak more slowly,
move more quickly
Be more forceful,
less confrontive
Quick to decide,
slow to take risks
Small talk and jokes preferred
or disciplined all the way
Either - or
the style is there
No one is better
but all are needed
That's the essence of
leadership and management
That we learned from you,
darling John
