A key lesson I have learned about leadership throughout my journey is the vitalness of relationships to a leader's success.

Seven Lessons  from Leading a Colorado Church Community During COVID-19.

By Reverend E Wendy Huber  When COVID-19 emerged in our resort area of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, it arrived with a vengeance. At the beginning of Spring Break, many people traveled here from all over the world to ski. Sadly this meant exposure to COVID-19 was rapid and sent us home with little or no warning. We went from moving about the community freely to locking down our buildings and "hiding" in our homes.

What are the Characteristics of an Effective ‘Role Model’?

BY SUE M. COBB, U.S. Ambassador (Ret.)
