Leadership Essentials

I am a strong believer in leadership. I look at the community at-large as an organization and think that we can all contribute to living better and learning how to be positive examples to lead those who may choose to follow. In fact, I believe we are all born leaders.

Read my blogs and let me know what you think. I am always open to new opinions, ideas and definitely facts. When I was writing my dissertation, Drs. Raphael, Roberts, & Schuttler, my committee members, stated and I paraphrase, someone other than you has to have the same opinion.  This means, that anyone can have an opinion, but unless others agree, then it really doesn’t mean anything. 

Join me in communicating to others about leadership, what you believe it is or is not. Share what you are doing to be a leader to those who may follow. Offer suggestions on topics for our health and wellness and consumers’ experience pages. Be a part of this effort to improve the quality of life – for yourself and others. Live well, be well, lead well.

Peace,

Dr. Melanie
