As I look at our world and particularly this passing year, there are many good things to be thankful for. Sadly, there are many things to be discouraged about as well. While our economy is good, the threat of trouble looms on the horizon. While we have plenty of candidates for President, there aren’t any that have truly captured the imagination of a country in need of real leadership. While we are benefiting from low cost products from China, we are also at risk from products that are not always safe.

The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price… The love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
Jon Huntsman in his book “Winners Never Cheat” may have provided a great roadmap for the New Year with his suggestions.

• Make the underpinnings of your life a string of f-words (at least phonetically): family, faith, fortitude, fairness, fidelity, friendship and philanthropy.”
As leaders, we owe it to our customers, our employees and our employers to set the standard. Make 2008 the Best Year Ever!
