September 26, 2012

According to thought leader and leadership coach, John C. Maxwell: “leadership is one of the areas that many entrepreneurs tend to overlook. You work hard to develop your product or service. You fight to solve your financial issues. You go out and promote your business and sell your product. But you don’t think enough about leading your own people and finding the best staff.”
