Leadership- Responsibility vs Prvilege
October 17, 2012Some people are natural born leaders while others seem to cultivate important leadership characteristics. Whatever applies, I feel that it is important to exercise leadership skills.

Rules of Leadership
October 17, 2012I think a lot of problems associated with leadership today is centered around perfectionism.

Stop the Shouting! Disappointing leadership…
October 17, 2012I am sure that all of us or the majority of us have watched the Presidential Debate last night. At the beginning I thought I had my set mind made up as a declared Democrat, but I wanted to keep my mind open. I have discovered to be moderate and see both sides. However, in […]
