From Deseret News archives:
Keep your life in balance even in crisis
When (Dell CEO Kevin) Rollins is at work, his focus is intense, uncompromised and entirely on Dell. And with Dell extending its global reach into foreign markets, Rollins maintains a very heavy travel schedule that sometimes requires him to fly on Sundays and keeps him away from home and church obligations for extended periods of time. "Sometimes the church or church assignments get postponed," Rollins said. "But then when I'm home sometimes the business suffers. That's how you balance you don't try to do too many things all the time."
On one particularly bad day among a string of tough weeks at the office, Rod arrived home much earlier than usual. That and the look on his face as he walked through the front door told his wife, Beverly, that a major financial fiasco had occurred.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Silent, Rod dropped his briefcase on the sofa and removed his suit jacket, tie and shoes. Then he walked past the children, out the back door and to the pool. Fully clothed, he jumped in.
