Leadership Maxim No. 2

Leadership applies to everyone.

Leadership Maxim No. 3

We lead in our professional lives and in our personal lives.

Leadership Maxim No. 4

Leadership Maxim No. 5

The key characteristics to look for when selecting people are a winning attitude and a strong work ethic.

Leadership Maxim No. 6

Leadership Maxim No. 7

Most companies are under-led and over-managed.

Leadership Maxim No. 8
