Favorite leadership quote:
"Effective leaders delegate a good many things; they have to or they drown
in trivia. But they do not delegate the one thing that only they can do
with excellence, the one that they will make a difference, the one thing
that will set standards, the one thing they want to be remembered for. They
do it." -- Peter Drucker.
