10 Commandments of Leadership-Not Breeding Sheep
Sheep. Need constant attention. Need to be told and shown every step along the way. Not thinking. Not deciding. Not innovating. Just following and doing what they are told. Nothing more and nothing less. Bah. Sheep in the Workplace Even if you have never left the comfortable confines of the big city, you have been exposed to sheep at work.

Black Friday is the most widely searched term this time of year...everywhere. Start your search/research online. Check for the online flyers, specials, coupons.
