Great post and wonderful challenge Julie. I don't know what it is about business leaders who won't involve their people.  Every time I've seen leaders who actively viewed their own success as a direct outcome of the success of their people, I've seen a successful enterprise.  It not only makes money, but it gives life to its employees, its customers and even its suppliers. The more I examine organizations, the more I believe the single key to success is leadership focused on growing and developing employees.  Thanks for the challenging post.
