"Leadership," says Peter Drucker, "is lifting a person’s vision to higher sights, raising a person’s performance to a higher standard, and building a personality beyond its normal limitations."
The foundations of successful, effective leadership start with each person taking personal responsibility for their own actions as part of a group, while feeling confident enough to suggest and accept revisions in team goals and performance. The foundations of long-term, profitable growth and success are built on CREATIVE personal and corporate leadership. Someone once said, "The best way to predict YOUR future is to create it!" Why not lead it!
You might be asking, "What does leadership have to do with vision or creativity?" Quite frankly, everything!
