Mike,
An important message from your post is that belief is an act of love.  Love isn't a word we comfortably use in business.  It is, though, subtly transferred to those whom we believe in. Love looks different: trust, respect, gratitude. As we move into 2011, we all need to reflect on and put into motion leadership acts that inspire belief, trust, respect, gratitude, and, yes, love.  We're ready for moving further out from the shadow of the past two years.

Good post, Mike.
