Spending time in reflection before one starts a new year is very important. When was the last time you did this?
What was the circumstance of that reflection? I have been listening to a number of CDs that have piled up and I put them in a container in my car along with several issues of magazines that I get to make my time in the car more productive.

Leaders who have learned the art of connection are able to communicate their ideas persuasively, establishing buy-in and attracting followers.
