I had the opportunity to attend the live event for the Chick-Fil-A Leadercast this past Friday. It was a fantastic chance to turn off my work mind for a day and learn from proven leaders. With a slate of 12 or more speakers, it was also easy to find plenty of leadership material for this [...]

Why Is The Why Important?
Do you recognize the name Samuel Pierpont Langley? I am sure some of you do, but most people have never heard his name mentioned.
