The total is up to 18 … including swimming, track and field, archery and six more … and it’s a great step forward to integrate the female and male athletes, a scenario leaders face every single moment of every single day.

You’ve heard it said that you go farther with a group than alone. Imagine the power of your team when it’s not a crowd of followers, but a cohesive group of leaders.

Maybe it’s time to start inspiring others to be those leaders?
