"Richard, thank you for accepting the invitation to be a leader teacher and for explaining the concepts related to Leading vs. Managing, Leading Change and the many other topics over the two days. Most of all, thanks for sharing your own leadership experiences and your commitment statement. You not only identified good lead-in stories for topics, you developed questions to create participant discussion in those stories. Very nice job!"
