To be an effective leader...

You need to understand everyone..

And by that I mean, why a person does/says or doesn't do/say what he/she does.

This book was a real eye opener.  It really helped me to understand others and how to use their strengths and weakness to work best with them.  I highly recommend it!

On a side note, Brandyn and I have been working to get trained as LEADS presenters.
