Leading from the Trenches
“The most important thing I learned is that soldiers watch what their leaders do. You can give them classes and lecture them forever, but it is your personal example they will follow.” – General Colin Powell
It’s more important than ever for our leadership team to lead from the trenches. This industry is starving for good solid leadership. We need selfless, smart, humble, hungry, hardworking leaders to step up, roll up their sleeves, challenge their teams and inspire everyone around them. Be the light we need you!
