The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives.  It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.  Andrew Carnegie

Jeff, I attended elementary school at a time when students were still memorizing the Declaration of Independence and the Gettysburg address. I can still repeat the Gettysburg address word for word. It was an epic speech, written hurriedly by Abraham Lincoln, on a scrap piece of paper. This shows how actions regarded as of little importance can impact individuals and actions way beyond our imagination. Educators have influence to a degree unknown. (Connie)

Jeff, I like that you included Teamwork as part of your board, too. With the number of railroad trend problems facing the world right now, hte only way we will ever overcome them is with teamwork of massive, unprecedented proportions. (A pretty good book on the topic is "The Meaning of the 21st Century, by James Martin is all about this and is a good book for teacers (I say pretty good because parts of it are a little hastily written, but it's worth the time as it gives a general over view of the problems and lots of time on the solutions, which all start with education.)
