I don’t know about you, but it’s almost as if we have raised a generation of leaders who feel they have a moral and ethical obligation to be politically correct – WRONG. Even the term change, a concept once reserved for the innovative and revolutionary, has been hi-jacked by the politically correct. How sad is this?

Persistence in leadership is analogous to running a marathon. To succeed in leadership you have to work hard and continually hone your interpersonal skills.
