NTTA Adding Lanes to the
Sam Rayburn Tollway
If you drive Sam Rayburn Tollway regularly, you'll notice construction starting west of Denton Tap Road to the U.S. 75 ramp. The North Texas Tollway Authority is adding a fourth lane in the median in both directions to improve capacity. For the most part, traffic won't be disrupted. However, three bridges in the Legacy area will require full closures at some point during the project. The
Sam Rayburn Tollway Fourth Lane Project
is projected to be complete in 2021.

5 Things Average Managers Will Fear but Good Leaders Will Do
In this social economy, we work in an era in which
trust and transparency are the new currencies. You'll find these virtues ingrained in the DNA of the world's
best work cultures.
But where does it all start? I posit that it originates with
leaders as "caretakers"
of the people who make up these wonderful, human-centered organizations.
When you look under the hood, there are certain undeniable attributes that define these leaders in action. These attributes filter down to the frontline employees who, in turn, become inspired to chase a common purpose and produce meaningful work.
