Will you do what needs to be done?

August 24, 1940 - Left fielder Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox pitches the last two innings in a 12-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Williams allows three hits and one run but strikes out Tiger slugger Rudy York. Joe Glenn, who caught Babe Ruth's last pitching appearance in 1933, is Williams'catcher.

So Ted Williams pitched in a pinch? Are you willing to do the same? Will you step up? Outside your comfort zone? To get something done, to do a task "that isn't my job."

Will you pitch in for the good of the team to accomplish the overall goal, setting aside your own personal fears or discomfort?

Will you make that tough call to the customer who hates your company? Will you make the collections call because the accountant cannot get anywhere? Will you load the shipment yourself? Will you go spend 3 hours at a government office to straighten out the paperwork? Will you do what needs to be done?
