READ MY BOOK #

LOCA L AUT HO RS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth reading

GUY FEHR

The Unwritten Rules: Leadership in the Workplace There are leaders at every level in an organization; from the front line to the CEO. Senior leadership are obvious examples, but there are other leaders that set an example for us as well. I’m referring to those middle management and front line supervisors that have the heart and drive to do their best and support others. They are seen as leaders by those around them and their natural leadership tendencies enable them to grow from experience, gaining insights often missed by others. There is a consistency about them.

The Unwritten Rules: Leadership in the Workplace, is written to support and advise these mid-level and front-line leaders. My book is all

about assisting them.

To be clear, this isn’t a book on management development but it would cer tainly augment a management development pro g ram.

This is a book on the 20 most common errors made by midlevel and Guy Fehr front-line leaders; the traps they unwittingly step into, and the unexpressed expec-

tations of those around them.

The Unwritten Rules: Leadership in the Workplace points out the seemingly innocuous habits and tendencies of many workplace leaders that undermine their own leadership.

For example: A mid-level leader might be using every strategy she can think of to bring about a sense of “team” and comraderie among her staff, not realizing she is hampering her own efforts with a seemingly unrelated habit. A front-line leader may find his staff meetings have gone quiet, not connecting what he has done with the now stifled two-way communication; and if he does realize, how might he effectively undo it ?

There are common personal habits and mindsets that interfere with

trust and communication. There are expectations that, if not met, can hinder productivity, magnify problems, or at the very least, cause a lot of frustration. There is a timing to some things, that if done too soon or too late, can erode trust, cause disrespect, and hamper productivity. The Unwritten Rules: Leadership in the Workplace is intended to be a kind of pocket mentor, sharing concepts and explanations based on 40 years of experience and observation. My intent is to save the reader the years it often takes to learn these concepts and the problems one encounters by learning the hard way. My book is available at McNally Robinson Bookstore in Saskatoon, the Southland Mall Chapters in Regina and at Amazon.com.

Mintz braves the elements in pursuit of art

By Ashley Martin Todd Mintz has been in some potentially precarious situations.

Three-thousand feet below sea level. Mere metres away from animals that could rip him limb from limb.

In sub-zero water, underneath an iceberg, “I would say that’s probably some of the more intense div-

ing you can do. I use ‘intense’ as opposed to ‘unsafe,’” Mintz said with a chuckle. “I am trained in it, so I would say I’m more calculated.

“I sometimes don’t feel that I’m actually taking a risk.”

Had he stuck solely with accounting, these situations wouldn’t have presented. But in 1994, when Mintz finished his chartered accountancy, he also got certified in scuba diving.

Now, nearly as much as he’s in the office working on financial statements and tax planning for corporate clients, he’s in a field or an ocean, spying on nature through the viewfinder of a camera.

Funny enough, he says, technicality and creativity converge in both fields: “Shooting cameras, there’s math and it’s technical, and doing accounting requires creativ-

ity and vision for your clients.”

Nature photography has been a passion since Mintz took his first big scuba trip to Bonaire in 1996.

A childhood fascination with Jacques Cousteau led to a desire to see what went on in the water.

So he ventured over to The Dive Shoppe, enrolled in a pool course and bought gear before he was even certified.

Born and raised in Regina, he started diving in Saskatchewan lakes, which he says helped him be more dexterous in situations where you don’t want to damage ecosystems like coral reefs.

“You need to have excellent buoyancy control, which is something you need here because they’re siltbottom lakes — they’ll stir up and then you can’t see a thing.”

Sharks are generally good, they’re not aggressive, they’re not looking to do you harm, but you just hope you don’t run into the one bad one. — Mintz

For his trip to Bonaire, The Dive Shoppe loaned him a film camera and a long-held interest in photography was renewed.

Though he has photographed in tropical climes like Jamaica and the Galápagos Islands, and is heading to the Philippines next month, Mintz prefers cold-water diving. Sub-zero waters are “not that big a deal” after experiencing Saskatchewan winters all his life.

A favourite destination is the Arctic. He has made seven trips there in the past three years and is returning in June to Pond Inlet, Nunavut, to shoot narwhal whales — “hopefully they show up.”

He shoots in Saskatchewan too, which can get uncomfortable on -40 C winter days.

“I’ve literally had fingers I can’t feel, just like anyone else if they’re out too long. Walked so far into the middle of a field and realized once the wildlife’s moved off that the truck is a long way away and I’ve been out here for hours.

Pretty intense challenges. Sometimes, I don’t like to let my wife in on knowing exactly what I’m doing,” he said laughing, “so she doesn’t get too concerned.”

While getting close to nature can be risky business, he takes calculated risks. After all, he wants to be around for the sake of his wife Melanie and their five children.

Photography is all about the art for Mintz.

It’s not about money or collecting images like they’re hockey cards.

It requires patience — sitting still for hours to shoot an image, sometimes to no avail.

It’s a challenge, but he doesn’t like shooting in controlled scenarios: Posing a person and

adjusting lighting doesn’t interest him. In nature, “They are going to do what they do and I have to try to figure out a way to capture it.”

One way is by learning as much as he can about each specific animal.

He doesn’t try to force anything — “if I’m meant to get the image, it’ll happen” — and that relaxed approach might be a help. “I’ve certainly been in groups of people under water and somehow the subject, whether it be a giant manta ray or a sea lion, seems to come to me out of a whole group standing there.”

Under water, he uses a semi-professional camera with an aluminum housing to seal the camera. Fit is important, as even a hairline gap can expose the camera to water; Mintz usually carries more than one camera just in case.

He has been honoured by memberships in the Explorers Club and Ocean Artists Society, and was twice displayed in the Smithsonian.

His photos have been published in National Geographic and Canadian Geographic magazines.

His latest acclaim is in showcasing 40-plus photos at the Saskatchewan Science Centre in Regina, including international award-winning shots of clown fish, sockeye salmon and gobies.

The exhibition runs through mid-March.

The adage ‘a picture’s worth 1,000 words’ exists for good reason. Here are the stories behind some of Mintz’s favourite photos.

Shark — Bahamas, 1996 This 1996 shark trip was the first he took with his own camera.

Halfway through I kind of got somewhat sick because they come up here to spawn and then they die, so there’s literally piles and piles of them on the shore. — Mintz

“Bahamas are known for sharks. I’ve probably done a dozen trips over there for sharks, specifically. Very misunderstood animal, not aggressive as people think in any way. We literally have to bait them to get them to come in; otherwise, they’re not interested in general.”

There is a clear vertical line at the top of this photo, to the left of centre. That’s a scratch: Earlier, the shark had bit at the acrylic dome port protecting the camera lens.

“Sharks do not generally do that ... That isn’t

a natural behaviour for them to snap at it like that. I always say it’s just like people — sharks are generally good, they’re not aggressive, they’re not looking to do you harm, but you just hope you don’t run into the one bad one.

“I’ve been with many different sharks, including ones that people would deem aggressive — tiger sharks, bull shark, grey hammerhead — and never an issue at all.”

This photo picked up several awards at a San Francisco competition in 2004, including best in show. It was the first competition he’d

entered. The prize was a dive trip to Raja Ampat, Indonesia.

Sockeye salmon — Adams River near Sicamous, B.C., October 2010 “Every four years there’s a large sockeye salmon run from the coast inland. They travel about 500 kilometres inland; they change colour to these vibrant reds and greens. A friend of mine from the U.K., a photographer (Alex Mustard), flew into Calgary. We drove through the national parks and spent a week there in the

cold rushing waters, which was challenging, to say the least, to the point halfway through I kind of got somewhat sick because they come up here to spawn and then they die, so there’s literally piles and piles of them on the shore.

You’re in water eight (or) 10 hours a day, I must have ingested something as a result. The river ran through me kind of thing, and not always the best thing to have happen when you’re sitting in a dry suit all day long, which means you’re zipped and sealed in.”

I said ‘we are close enough that the bear could jump from where he is to where I am, so we might want to back up a little bit.’ Probably 15 to 20 feet, pretty close. — Mintz

Bowhead whale — Qikiqtarjuaq, Baffin Island, Nunavut, August 2012

“We were cruising around looking for these polar bears and ... we saw some spouting off by the shore. Bowhead whales, from what I’ve seen, are essentially by mass about the second largest whale. We approached and there was a group I think of 12 to 15 bowhead whales in these shallows and they’re a pelagic whale meaning deep water whale … We quickly donned our snorkel gear and got in the water trying to get close to them, which I was a little apprehensive (about) because they’re huge whales and I’m just a speck in the water.

“This whale was coming along the bottom towards me ... I’m thinking ‘is it going to run me over?’ and ‘what do I do?’ And finally it clicked in my head, ‘Well, if it’s going to run me over, I might as well capture the shots because I can’t do anything about it.’ It curved along the bottom and came up right in front of me, mere metres from me, turned and then the next thing I saw was this massive tail coming around.

I remember leaning back as it came by, didn’t touch me at all — they have such great presence of knowing — and then swam off. ... It was kind of the one occasion where I was a little bit concerned that I might not come out of it.

“They’re rare to have good images of bowheads in general, so I feel fortunate to have maybe contributed to a little bit of knowledge with regards to that species.”

Polar bear — Qikiqtarjuaq, August 2012 “It’s a half face, shot that way intentionally. It’s almost full frame. We had gone up to the arctic in the summer on the east coast of Baffin

Island. … This bear was actually lying up on the shore, sleeping on some rocks, and as we were approaching, it got up and came down to the shore essentially to check us out or greet us, so our guide on the boat kind of worked our boat in close ... I said

‘we are close enough that the bear could jump from where he is to where I am, so we might want to back up a little bit.’ Probably 15 to 20 feet, pretty close.

“I wanted to capture the intensity of the eye ... The ears had dropped back, so

it had become annoyed ... so we started backing off. I try my best not to be a negative impact on wildlife when I’m there, recognizing I’m not necessarily a natural thing around them.

“I’ve been really close to black bears, grizzly bears

and ... the kermode or spirit bear. Polar bears are definitely ones that get my attention. They are opportunistic, in my opinion, and always looking for their next meal and if you give them the opportunity, they certainly will take it.

“The kermode bear was literally walking among us, black bear same thing and grizzly bears have been that close ... they evaluate it and if you’re not (a threat) they just go about their business because we’re generally not their main source of food.”

Fox and her kit — farm south of Regina, summer 2014 “With any shot, you need to become a bit of a biologist. You need to understand the animal, recognize some routines and then try to be in place when those routines occur. … I wanted to capture some interaction between the adult and the young … I was actually sitting in an old horse trailer along the fence line fairly close to this, trying to be hidden, and the mother showed up and then the father showed up, but then the little farm dog started chasing them off ... I’d spent hours on end.

“There was one time … for four hours nothing happened, so there’s never a guarantee with wildlife. It’s a lot of time and commitment but you never know what you’ll see. I feel fortunate to have seen all the things that I do get to see when I’m out there.” amartin@leaderpost.com Twitter.com/LPAshleyM

Lt.-Gov. Vaughn Solomon Schofield:

Like mother, like daughter

By Ashley Martin Chuckie Solomon was a fashionconscious lady. Even during the Great Depression, with little money to spare for new clothes and shoes, she was resourceful.

“One of the tricks that she used, she would draw a seam up the back of her leg so it looked like she had stockings on,” said Vaughn Solomon Schofield, the second of Chuckie’s three daughters.

“She was always very conscious of how she looked and what she wore and was on a budget in those years, so when she couldn’t afford to buy the clothes that she wanted to buy, she would make them ... I’m sure that’s where my interest in fashion first came from. She was a hard act to follow.”

But follow Solomon Schofield did, as did her two sisters. “(We) had a huge interest in fashion and looking your best and a lot of that goes back to etiquette training and that kind of thing, not looking like you just got out of bed when you go out.”

Etiquette is handy knowledge given Solomon Schofield’s job: She’s lieutenant-governor of Saskatchewan, a role that involves a lot of pomp and circumstance as she represents Queen Elizabeth II within the province.

After studying fashion merchandising at Chicago’s Ray-Vogue School in the early ’60s, Solomon Schofield returned to Regina and ran a charm school out of her parents’ home.

“There was a fair amount of modelling involved but there was also a lot of etiquette, how to walk properly, how to speak properly,” she said.

“Modelling was really just getting started in Regina in those days. It’s taken off now.”

Her current job, which she has held since March 2012, affords her an outlet for her love of fashion, too.

“I think I’m still a little bit of a little girl at heart; I like to get dressed up,” said Solomon Schofield. “I could get dressed up almost every day if I want to so it’s not quite as thrilling as it used to be, but I still enjoy it.”

Were she not regularly in the public eye, Solomon Schofield would be conscious of her appearance, as she believes everyone should be.

“I think it’s important that young girls have a fashion sense and look after themselves and look after the way they look. But I think it’s equally as important for older women to not stop doing it once they reach a certain age and give up and not really care what they look like. At both ends of the spectrum I think it’s important to be conscious of how you present yourself and how you appear. I think it makes you look happier and healthier,” said Solomon Schofield, though she admits she has jeans and T-shirt days at home in Regina Beach.

As lieutenant-governor, she often has to change multiple times a day. It takes planning — she brings in bags of clothing and accessories and has become adept at transforming basic outfits with accessories (shoes and jewelry are her favourites).

Her love of shoes goes way back.

“I think I started wearing high heels when I was about 12; I used to sneak them beyond my mother when she wasn’t looking. I wasn’t allowed outside in them of course, but I would wear all of her shoes until I outgrew her feet. She had tiny little feet.”

As for jewelry, she’s a big fan of Regina designer Rachel Mielke, and presented a Hillberg & Berk brooch to Her Majesty a year-and-a-half ago. “(Mielke’s) work is just amazing,” said Solomon Schofield. “When one considers how many brooches (the Queen) must have, it’s amazing that we’ve seen her in this one either three or four times.”

For Lt.-Gov. Vaughn Solomon Schofield, looking your best is all part of the job. QC PHOTO BY BRYAN SCHLOSSER

FASHION TODAY’S OUTFIT 1. GLASSES: She has several pairs, all from South Albert Eye Clinic.

2.

2. MAKEUP: “As you get older and your skin starts to sag, it gets harder to cover that up,” she said with a laugh, “but I’ve never had any work done on my face.”

She plays with colours around her eyes, opting today for blue eyeliner and eyeshadow.

“I’m wearing a royal blue velvet dress to a dinner tonight, so I try to match up the glasses and the makeup.”

3.

3. EARRINGS: “I try to always have earrings (on) because I have pierced ears.”

4. MEDAL: Badge of Office, a lieutenant-governor exclusive.

“I wear it for official functions and when I’m not at official functions, there’s a small version, a little pin, that I wear.

“I often have to wear medals and ... (some) are really heavy and big, and so you have to think about what kind of cloth you’re wearing and how the medals will work and will it destroy the dress.”

FILM

Gemma Bovery Romantic comedy Martin is an ex-Parisian literary hipster now the baker in a picturesque Norman village. All that remains of his youthful ambitions is a lively imagination and a passion for Gustave Flaubert. Martin is positively giddy when an English couple named Gemma and Charles Bovery move next door to him and he becomes convinced they are Flaubert’s creations. Turning into a director of his beloved classic, he intervenes in their lives to extreme comic effect.

But it seems the handsome Bovery’s next door never read Flaubert.

Why Don’t You Play in Hell?

Action Ten years ago, the Kitagawa yakuza clan attacked the Muto yakuza clan at Muto’s own home, only to have Muto’s wife fight back.

This unexpectedly left the Kitagawa clan in shambles, with their top hitman Ikegmai wounded and Muto’s wife in prison. Despite the carnage, the most unfortunate fallout from this attack is when Muto’s beloved daughter, Mitsuko, has her adorable toothpaste commercial taken off the air.

ASK ELLIE

No age is right to settle for a divisive relationship Q. I’ve secretly dated a man for six months, lying to my family about it. He’s African American and my European family doesn’t condone interracial relationships.

However, I don’t know if I want to continue with the relationship.

We’re very different in our likes, value systems, and thinking. He’s an unambitious personal trainer, happy living in a basement apartment and renting forever. He drinks a lot daily, and smokes marijuana daily.

I’m a hard worker always striving for better. He wants us to get a place together. I moved back with my parents due to debt, and have been working three jobs and living frugally.

I should be debt-free in six months, and have saved for the deposit to purchase a place in another six months.

My boyfriend doesn’t agree with my plan and feels that moving in would be great for us both. However, I don’t think we would work. I’ve sometimes lied to get out of seeing him.

I feel the relationship is geared only to his benefit. He doesn’t like

Ask Ellie

meaningful conversation, and hates and avoids stress.

When I’m having issues at work or at home, he cuts me off. I’ve stopped confiding anything to him. I make more money, but fear his lack of ambition means we’ll have a mediocre life. He’d previously made more money working security, but has nothing to show for it.

My friends say I should just accept what I get because the pickings are slim now, at age 40. He’s a nice person who cares and is giving, but I don’t think it’s enough.

Direction Needed.

A. You raised the interracial issue and your parents’ prejudices first,

but that’s not your problem. Rather, it presents as your intended escape clause.

You two are ill suited for a life together. No love is mentioned, only major disparities in lifestyle, ambition, and communication. His drinking and pot smoking (and their costs) will create a bigger divide if you live together, especially on uneven salaries.

Your friends are wrong. No one should accept a poor relationship due to “slim pickings.” You claim the relationship’s one-sided, but continuing to date him is leading him on unfairly.

Tell this “nice, caring” guy that you both should go separate ways. Age 40 is time for you to believe in yourself, not in your friends’ jaded views.

Q. In a year, I’ll be going to college.

My plan is to take the police foundations course and then join the Canadian military. I don’t know how to tell my parents this.

They know nothing about my career path. They both have hardworking jobs and keep telling me to

get a good job that’s easy and simple, so that I don’t suffer like they did working in hard conditions.

My heart wants to help and protect people. That was my dream since I was a little kid. I’m afraid my parents will be angry with me and not support me with my decision.

Desired Career A. Your parents didn’t have the opportunity to choose a desired job; they took what they could get due to their circumstances.

Explain to them that a dream career will feel “easy” for you, no matter the demands.

Tell them that it’s their hard work, for which you thank them, that now makes you feel lucky to follow your heart. Say that police and military service, which help and protect others, as well as the Canadian view of justice and democracy which they value, is important work for which you hope they’ll be proud of you.

Then stick to your plan.

Q. I’ve been wondering since Christ-

mas about the new office etiquette for gifting between managers and their employees.

Our six-person team, in an office with 3,000 employees, contributed what/if we wanted, and my manager received almost $100 for Christmas.

Our group received a greeting card in return. This also happened with last year’s team and manager.

Over the previous 20 years of employment, I’d always received a gift from my boss, and a return gift wasn’t expected. Even a $5 coffee card would be appreciated, and I’d willingly give a gift to a deserving manager.

Am I missing something?

Office Gifts A. You’re missing that times have changed. Many companies are still operating in recovery mode. Your managers have reflected that policy these past two years.

Clearly, gifting is now seen as unnecessary. If, next Christmas, you think a manager is deserving, send a personal or team card of appreciation. It has the most value.

Catering to food sensitivities

By Jenn Sharp In 2014, we all became familiar with the term gluten free.

Foods are advertised as gluten free and restaurants make a point of providing options on the menu (although just because a food is gluten free might not mean it’s healthy, but that’s a whole other topic.)

The trend now is toward allergenfree foods and catering to more restrictive dietary choices, like vegan, Paleo, Celiac or diabetes. Making food devoid of common allergens like dairy or peanuts makes it inclusive.

You can pick up a box of cupcakes made in a peanut-free bakery for a worry-free birthday party.

Many restaurants in Regina, like Table 10, offer gluten free menu items. Leyda’s, an organic, whole food restaurant in Saskatoon, caters to those with Celiac Disease and to those avoiding common allergens.

Staff is well versed in food preparation methods and ingredients used — reassuring words if you suffer from food allergies.

Baking often poses the biggest problem for people with food sensitivities.

A new, custom bakery in Saskatoon is making it easier to eat treats, and with an added healthy twist.

Lucille McInnes started Inside Out Bakery after she eliminated gluten and dairy from her diet.

“I never thought I had digestive issues. It was only once I went through that process of cleansing my system that I realized that was a part of it.”

She couldn’t eat a lot of gluten free items because of the yeast content.

(Yeast is a common trigger in digestive problems.)

Gluten- and dairy-free products are usually high in yeast.

“The flours are heavier and you need to double or triple the yeast to get even close to the rise. You’re magnifying an ingredient that’s already an irritant for someone that has digestive issues,” she says.

Inside Out eliminates as many allergens as possible and cross-con-

tamination is never an issue because diary, gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, corn and yeast are not in the facility.

To replace those ingredients, McInnes uses coconut, brown rice millet and chickpea flour, coconut milk and avocados, along with pumpkin seed and pea protein powders to give products a balanced mix of carbs, protein and fat (unlike many high carb, high sugar gluten free products).

McInnes doesn’t want people to have to cope, saying it’s unnecessary and that we rely on dairy and nuts too much — there are other, healthful alternatives.

“I saw a community need, a need

for education. My big mantra is, ‘Let’s make food that we can all eat together.’

“If the community embraces allergen-free cooking as a whole, then I’ve won big time.”

To order custom baking, go to www.insideoutbakery.com where you can enter any dietary restrictions on the order form. The bakery uses organic products with a short shelf life, hence the custom ordering system.

Frozen and a small variety of fresh goods are also available in store.

In Regina, visit Kneaded Bakeshop at 100 — 3725 Pasqua St., for an extensive selection of gluten- and dairyfree options

How to drink heavenly wine at lower prices

By James Romanow A couple of weeks ago I was at a party, and my friend Bob brought a bottle of Castillo de Almansa from 2005. This is an inexpensive bottle that is stocked worldwide. (But not the 2005 version; the winery typically releases at the three year mark.)

In any event, the glass was astounding. The bouquet was slightly alcoholic with great fruit, spice and herb aromas, and the palate something to treasure. The tannins were beautifully smooth.

It’s a classic Spanish blend of grapes: Tempranillo, Monestrell and Grenache. It is also one of the reasons I keep telling people to stop fussing over Argentina and drink Spanish wine. The stuff delivers tremendous value for the money. (Something not to be ignored when you’re facing the first couple of credit card bills of the year.)

In addition to tasting great there is another solid reason to drink the stuff — it’s old on release. People ask me all the time about sulfites and other mythical beasts. The most common reason for people reacting to red wine is the yeast by-products. (Don’t believe me? Take a Reactin next time one strikes.) It is my experience that once you start drinking four years and older, most headaches can be avoided.

You have no hope of avoiding headaches from

popular wines whose business model requires release at 18 months or younger. Good luck affording a four-year-old bottle from Napa.

But even better is to follow Bob’s sterling example. Buy a case every year and stash it in the basement. Then you too can experience some heavenly wine at very inexpensive prices.
