Leadership is doing the right things." -Peter Drucker "One of the true tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency." -Arnold H.

But nothing can be changed until it is faced." -James Baldwin "If you want to know why your people are not performing well, step up to the mirror and take a peek." -Ken Blanchard "The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality, the last is to say 'Thank you.'
