On the day I turned 16 years old I had a striped shirt sitting on a chair next to my desk. I put on that shirt and walked myself to the local A&P Food Market where I already spoke with management about starting my first job. Since that day I have worked for Corporations and Small Businesses. I have learned many things, but three that stand out and repeat themselves every sing time: Without Leadership everything falls apart Companies are build by people, people not a person Leadership, true Leadership is found in History. Open a History book and read.
