I believe we have a responsibility to invest in the development of our CEO’s and their teams. Servant Leadership, setting a vision and a pace for the organization and doing this in a constant learning, humble manner will drive sustainable results. We are not focused on the short term but lasting relationships that build value throughout the organization.
