Some interesting points on appealing to people, working with talent, not being in a rut, protecting your reputation, diversity (or not), personnel excellence, and planning. While not all of it is directly applicable to all business alot of it is.
The article tells us that “Smith, 40, is consistently in charge, on point and thinking ahead.” Read it and I think you will agree.
"I have attended quite a few leadership seminars, and have tried to gather and relate things from each of them, but yours hit all 3 of us with material that relates and for myself commands an internal level of accountability and responsibility in what I do at our company. "
