With the upcoming caucus in Iowa, I am seeing and hearing from many political leaders. I appreciate the fact that we live in a democratic society versus an autocratic society. The leadership style in our country, as found in the Gettysburg Address (1863), “by the people, for the people,” is similar to the concept of the servant leader.

I had an idea going into the conference of what I expected out of it: marketing, social media branding, touring, and networking. And yet, in hindsight, YDA HSLA was all of that, but immensely more.
