Lead from Within

As the year comes to a close, most of us are looking forward and making plans for the future—but sometimes to move ahead you must look back. The best leaders are always taking stock of their lives, asking and reflecting. The best way to make improvements is to decide three things: what came before, what comes next, and how to get it.
