6 Unique Things You'll Find
Good Leaders Doing Every Day
Being a good leader can be a lonely place. For those that choose to make the courageous journey, it's walking the higher road of integrity and
moral authority. There are no shortcuts. That's where mere mortals realize the enormity of the role, toss in the towel, and face defeat.
For those
exceptional leaders that trudge forth with confidence and resolve, two things never cease: learning from others and
serving others. These are the signs of a humble and fierce nature, assured of their position, their identity, and their destination.
