LEADERSHIP
Differences exist among everyone and must be recognized.
We do not always like or understand other people's differences.
Differences can be positive.
When we accept people's differences, we benefit from their strength's and a greater understanding of the people we are trying to lead.
Character Corner
This month's pillar of Character is Fairness.
To be fair we must . . . . . . .
Play by the rules.
Take turns and share.
Be open-minded; listen.
Don't blame carelessly.
Don't take advantage of people's mistakes and weaknesses.
