tributes to Jody<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\nDon’t be impressed with the names of the celebrities on the list.\u00a0 Focus on the content of what they are saying.\u00a0 Read how many people he mentored.\u00a0 Read about his loyalty to friends.\u00a0\u00a0 Read about his genuine interest and concern for people regardless of their status.\u00a0 About his intense love of family.<\/p>\n
And from that, begin to think about what “great” really means.<\/p>\n
I suggest that it is not about achievements, trophies, records, or money.\u00a0 Look around.\u00a0 A lot of mediocrity can achieve acquire such.<\/p>\n
Great people — like great brands — are about much higher and more important things.\u00a0 Like working hard.\u00a0 Being honest.\u00a0 Helping people who need a hand.\u00a0 Making a difference in someone’s life.<\/p>\n
Jody did that for many.<\/p>\n

I worked for Jody first at Ogilvy and Mather and then as one of the original Powell Tate team.\u00a0 He was a great mentor and an even greater friend.\u00a0\u00a0 He was at the same time demanding and incredibly forgiving.\u00a0 He was a hard nosed negotiator and also extremely generous.\u00a0\u00a0 He was loyal to those close to him but also open to others.\u00a0\u00a0 His care for people went beyond the individual.\u00a0 He made an indelible impact not only on me, but also on my wife and children.<\/p>\n
