Great blog, Ms. Palazzolo!  You are right that there can be no real team development apart from a  leader's personal development.  In order to lead others, we must first demonstrate that we are able to follow.  Great leaders are great teachers and even greater students.  They understand that they do not have all the answers.  Great leaders, however, tend to know just where to find the answers!  On a slightly different note:  In the area of cultural competence, instead of assuming, great leaders are not afraid to ask questions.  I could go on and on, but I'll stop here and await more of your excellent blogs.  Thank you!
