I know I have talked about welcome a lot, and in person I talk about it even more. In fact, I list it as one of the top values in any work we do with people.

A number of slogans were not real 'slogans' per , as in no one designed them and said this is what we need … Continue reading My history of Leadership slogans

As I was considering the year we are in it suddenly occurred to me: I graduated 20 years … Continue reading Leaders are Learners
