Management moment: Character starts at the top of every organization

Power Point: Every great institution is the lengthened shadow of a single man. His character determines the character of his organization.
ó Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power Thought: What would your organization look like if everyone’s character were a reflection of yours? The character of your organization will seldom rise higher than what is modeled at the top. The shadow that your company casts is dependent on the integrity of each person in it.
ó Doug Dickerson
Power Surge: There is no substitute for character. You can buy brains, but you cannot buy character.
