Why I Started A Blog About Leadership
There are multiple reasons why I chose to start a leadership blog.

Be Someone Worth Following
There are a lot of people in “leadership” positions that really aren’t worth following. They might talk a good game and say all the right things, but their actions tell a completely different story. How a “leader” leads him or herself will determine how effective they are as a leader. If a “leader” leads hypocritically,Continue reading “Be Someone Worth Following”
