From the Book!
"Being a good manager or a supervisor does not automatically equate to being a good leader. There are very good managers and supervisors who are effective at just that...management.
Management is nothing more than putting people and resources to work in an efficient way. That being said, retired US Navy Admiral Grace Hopper stated that "you manage things - you lead people." So it takes more than good managerial or supervisory skills to be an effective and competent leader. Leadership, especially effective leadership, takes doing; it requires one to be in the arena experiencing."

Mr. Capra is a highly sought after speaker, who passionately shares his proven and battle tested strategies on how to successfully develop leaders in a multi-generational workforce while pursuing organizational and personal excellence.
