A team is a group of interdependent individuals committed to achieving a common objective. The team's success depends on the contribution of each member.  Exceptional leaders build powerful teams by finding the right people for the team and insuring that everyone on the team is focused on a common objective, aligned with each other on roles and responsibilities, and communicating effectively.
 

Team members must trust each other to perform their respective roles. This means that team members are reliable and competent. Team members collaborate with each other and fully express their individual views.

Has your banker recently asked you for more financial information than ever before? Have you heard the term "Global Cash Flow" used by bankers in the last few years?

How To Go From Good To Great... High Potential Leadership 

There are good leaders today in many companies, but seemingly, there are very few great leaders. Great leaders attach themselves to a purpose and take others on the voyage with them.

For more than two decades, the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month has educated women about breast cancer, especially the importance of detecting the disease in its earliest stages through screening mammography, clinical breast examination, and for women 20 years of age and older, breast self-examination.

According to the National Cancer Institute, Breast Cancer is the most common non-skin cancer, and the second leading cause of cancer related death in women. Currently, $570 million dollars a year is spent on breast cancer research.
