Being Leader of Your Own Life
Every few weeks I like to respond to some of the comments received about my blogs. I enjoy reading the commentary from readers, whether positive, negative or informative. My recent blog “Stay Strong to Your Convictions” seemed to hit home for many people.I was driven to write the entry amidst ongoing media publicity about the first law firm I worked for being the subject of an FBI investigation for improper billing practices. The people being wrongly billed were, of course, the taxpayers because the firm represents numerous municipalities including school districts, villages and police departments. With yet another example of the big wigs taking away from the people they are supposed to represent, I was glad I remained strong to my convictions over the years and spoke up when things went wrong. When there is an absence of decent leadership, you must find the leader within yourself.
