Crazy in Cuero

Jobs at Kalypso are often inherited.

My standard response to someone who is leaving the organization is that they have to hire their replacement before they can quit. The theory is that no one knows the demands of the position better than the person doing the job. This strategy has never failed to yield a superior result. One of those results is Kailey Slone.

I thought I knew Kailey. She was the little niece of my daughter’s first grade teacher. She was the bossy middle-school kid living in a travel trailer on the rodeo circuit. She was the smart, studious, if not a little too straight-laced, student leader with the really loud voice. But I didn’t know the real Kailey Slone.

I love this young lady very much. She is still bossy, but also fearless, competent, reliable, funny, optimistic, hopeful, and fun with an infectious personality and tanker truck loads of energy. Kailey’s job is to help all of us become better professionals and she does that job very well. She is one of my favorite Kalypso characters.
