My wife and I have been on vacation the past two weeks, hiking in Alaska.    
     Even when on vacation, I don't forget my mission in life--I exist to help leaders inspire and engage future leaders in their organization.  Here's an article inspired by our hikes to and on glaciers:  "Leadership Development is Like a Glacier."  Enjoy!

     If you were starting from scratch, what criteria would you include in defining genuine excellence in an organization?  
     And where in the world would you go to find the best criteria for determining excellence in organizations?  According to 80 nations on earth, the United States of America is the answer!
     Take a look at this week's article entitled, "Other Nations Adopting America's Criteria for Excellence."  You might be surprised at what you already know--or at what you don't know!
