The Power of Language
I’ve been thinking a lot about the power of language lately. There was an interesting discussion on ASAE & The Center’s Executive Management listserve not too long ago about changing the name of a Board of Directors to a Board of Trustees, hoping that would help...
Book Review: Why Great Leaders Don’t Take Yes for an Answer
All this magazine reading, and I’ve been very remiss in reading books. I have been revamping the text on my website, and I realized that I USED TO do a book review periodically, but it has been forever! So I took the time to finish Michael Roberto’s Why Great Leaders...
