5 Questions About Your Leadership

As we walked through the store one day, I discovered that my family was following me at every turn.  I decided to have a little fun.  I started taking the “long way” to our destination.  I even went in-between each of the small displays in the middle isle (in a circular pattern) to see if everyone would follow.  This is when it was discovered that Dad was having a little too much fun!
