I was going to say that this is the start of a good day, but then when I went to post my response, everything disappeared, GROAN! LOL. I will now undertake a brief of what I wrote. I chose to look at today’s topic from our situation today as it relates to the recent/current pandemic, as far as leadership goes. In the 12 part article, I chose the last three parts as my focus, but each part of the whole has relevance. I have just posted the link so that y’all can browse and pick and choose what would be what y’all could apply to yourselves. Have a blessed day today and always.
