Leadership Thought for the Week, January 22, 2007

I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do.  That is character!
            —- Theodore Roosevelt

Leadership Thought for the Week: January 8th

You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.

Good Bye 2006

The close of a year is always a time for reflection and goal setting.  It’s like the end of a chapter in a book — the story isn’t over, it’s just time to move on to the next adventure.
