LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Leadership. It means something different to each one of us. So how do you become not just a good leader, but a great leader if you have multiple expectations to meet? This question is why there are countless books, seminars, podcasts, quotes, and more about leadership. And it’s why we are focusing our first playbook of 2020 on leadership.

Ronald Reagan said, “The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.”

A simple quote with a difficult task. Motivating, encouraging, and developing others to do great things can be harder than doing the great things yourself.

This playbook is dedicated to leadership and helping you navigate the challenges of being a great leader. Being and building proven leaders is crucial to the success of your business, especially in our everchanging industry. You and your team need to be prepared to handle the ins and outs together as a strong, flexible, proven leadership team. We will look at how leadership impacts culture, the importance emotional intelligence plays in leadership, and how to get out of your own way, allowing yourself to become a true leader—no matter what your role is within your organization.

We hope you enjoy our lineup of playbooks for 2020. We will also tackle other imperative topics such as data, human capital, and technology. Thank you for being a valuable part of our family. We look forward to relentlessly working for your success in 2020.

Kindest Regards,

Clint Geffert, President VGM & Associates
