When you plant seeds, you don’t dig them every day to check if they are growing. They will never grow. Sometimes, less leadership is the best leadership. With people, be patient. - – - – -.

Hi Mike, I''m glad to hear that you''re getting a more sophisticated perspective from the audiences you''re speaking to about leveraging social tools for their businesses. That''s great news.
