We’ve either got to find a way to motivate Jean or ask her to leave.
Jean’s not really interested in working with us.
She’s probably been forced to show up, but she leaves as soon as she can.
She must not really be interested in the committee.

The Window and the Mirror…. Jim Collins
If you don't know the kind of person I am,and I don't know the kind of person you are,
a pattern that others made may prevail in the world,and following the wrong god home we may miss our star.
For there is many a small betrayal in the mind,a shrug that lets the fragile sequence break,
sending with shouts, the horrible errors of childhood,storming out to play through the broken dike.
And as elephants parade holding each elephant's tail,but if one wanders the circus won't find the park,
I call it cruel and maybe the root of crueltyto know what occurs, but not recognize the fact.
And so I appeal to a voice, to something shadowy,a remote important region in all who talk;
though we could fool each other, we should consider - lest the parade of our mutual life get lost in the dark.
For it is important that awake people be awake,or a breaking line may discourage them back to sleep;
the signals we give - yes or no, or maybe -should be clear; the darkness around us is deep.
