photos that I wouldn’t consider appropriate for a teacher to have on. They are not exposed pictures, but there are photos of profane words that would not be appropriate for younger children to see.

many qualities necessary to become an effective leader, but if I had to choose one quality it would be “vision.” Great leaders have vision, the ability to see the invisible and do the impossible. Some recent great visionaries are Les Wexner− Victoria’s Secret, Steve Jobs− Apple, and Howard Schultz− Starbucks. Each one of them identified an opportunity that no one else saw, then built large companies through their vision.” Her business perspective has influenced many companies and has proven…
