On Leadership

One Very Vivid Memory That I have is of a Duplex Apartment Fire in the Heat of July.

That Day a Small Woman in Stature was in High Demand, of the Many Tasks I had That day, I recall Being Lifted through a Window, Crawling in a Small Space, Extinguishing the Fire, Pulling the Ceiling and Overhauling.

Those were the Days that Prepared me, the Experience I Needed to Successfully Lead an Organization.
