This represents more than 1,000 families every month that must live with the tragic consequences of drunk driving.   Although alcohol – related fatalities have declined by more than 40 percent since MADD was founded in 1980, progress has stalled in recent years.

What type of Leader are you going to be? - Apr 17, 2008 - 3:35:00 PM

Roberta and Al Reddick Leadership Personified

This is a question that we all should take very seriously as the choice we make will effect the lives and futures of organizations and more importantly people.   We are at a point in history that it is very evident that people are looking for a lot more out of their leaders than the “old school,” do it because I said so or the leadership model of making decisions based purely on   “business decisions” that do not take into account the “people factor.”   In today’s society we are dealing with the prospect of recruiting and retaining staff from generation Y.   The old school approach definitely will not work with this generation.   Nor should it!   With all the technical and educational knowledge they and we bring to the table today being treated with simple respect and courtesy is not too much to ask or demand.
