Leaders know and understand their people. They treat them with dignity and respect.
The employer generally gets the employees he deserves.

�Sir Walter Gibley

The best leaders become cooler when the heat is turned up....Crisis is the true test of a person's leadership ability.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

�Martin Luther King, Jr.

Leaders recognize good work as quickly as they recognize poor work.
The deepest principle of human nature is the craving to appreciated.

�William James
