To all fathers out there, Happy Father’s Day! To celebrate, let me share a video that has gone viral. As for myself, today I give thanks especially for my dad, my father-in-law, and my grandpas. My Dad has always been there, and continues to be there. He was a connective leader before Jean Lipman-Blumen had come up with the term. He was exhibiting characteristics of millennial leadership … Continue reading Happy Father’s Day!
