A company and leaders of the company have the responsibility of the precious lives of all the human beings that work there.

There are leaders and there are those who lead. Leaders hold a position of power or influence. Those who lead inspire us.

Though there are lessons that can be learned about becoming a great leader, most exist inherently in the bellies of those who lead.

If someone's performance is down we do not say, 'Hey pick up your things here.' We do not yell and scream at them, we say, 'Are you okay?' The idea of putting our financials goal aside for one minute to express empathy for the human being for that work and saying, 'Are you okay?' That is part of the sacrifice.

Emails get reactions. Phone calls start conversations.

Leaders may inspire, but only when the people decide to act does the leader's vision become a movement.

Remember to connect with people now and then. In fact, pick up the phone, right now, and call a friend for no other reason than to say hi.
