Take Your Company to the Top! Here’s how:
** Align your values with the corporate mission,
** Transition from Manager to Leader,
** Implement Best Practices so that you can delegate, monitor only the exceptions, and implement your strategic plan, and
** Use the four pillars of Integrity-based Leadership as a basis for all policies, procedures, and communications. The four pillars are 1) Honesty, 2) Clarity, 3) Transparency, and 4) High Ethical Values

Do the above and your employees will increase their productivity, improve their motivation, and help the company grow to the next level. Along the way, staff who are not part of the team spirit will leave automatically, and you will be left with a great group of employees who believe in your company and will follow you on the growth path.

Terry Sumerlin

Then, with good humor and an eye for just the right adage or anecdote, he makes his point plain, and signs off with a one sentence “Leadership Principle” worth memorizing.
