5 Ways To Grow A Little Each Day

As you lead others in your organization, you pull them along your growth trajectory. That means you need to be growing as well. 

I love what poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said:

The purpose of that apple tree is to grow a little new wood each year. That is what I plan to do.
