I appreciated this quote shared at the beginning of the "First Impressions" workshop with Mark Waltz this past week. It was in regards to leadership.

OK, so I have a bunch of books I’ve been wanting to read, and never really take the time to read them. Most of the books I read tend to be more in the non-fiction realm these days. Although I did decide to start reading Harry Potter last week and zipped through the book in […]
