Managerial RespeKt

My first blog, relating to the techniques and adaptation of the successful manager, was how I felt, at the time, about managing an establishment. I still do feel the same way. However, after passing more time through management class, I have identified within myself an abysmal respeKt for the successful manager. Simply using the word "respect" seemed so monotonous, mondaine, uncharacteristic, and toneless--I needed a word with more juice and more meaning to really be able to explain my admiration. Thus, I thought of respeKt (I know, it's already been spelled with a "k" plenty of times...but never having the same explanation as mine behind it). The capital "k" in respeKt directly represents the manager's Kinetic energy. Partly thanks to Restaurant Law (as well as management of course), I have become more cognizant of the amount of hard work, devotion, and Will Power it takes for a manager to be successful. Their energy, their constant movement, I have labeled as their Kinetic energy...it is, in basic, the energy they are expending. Now, with all the responsibilities that need to be nurtured, it is of the utmost interest for a manager to disprove the laws of inertia (changing velocity due to resistance)--the need to make like a planet in space and clear all other objects from their orbit. And with no resistance, this would be the disproving of the laws of inertia. However, we have to be realistic and remain on Earth here. These laws relate to mas, and since it doesn't matter how fat or how skinny the manager is, the mass in this equation reflects Will Power. A great enough Will Power can break through any opposing force--the complaining guests, the IRS, employee checks bouncing, the girl filing a lawsuit for getting burned, the raise in prices, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. it never seems to stop. A manager with devotion and honorable enough Will Power will be successful. They will not let inertia bring them to a stop, their Will Power will clear the objects out of their path. They will use their experience to come to logical conclusions as well as their Wisdom to settle ideas....with absolutely no shortage of Kinetc energy. RespeKt.
