When our daughter, Danae, and her friends decide to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, she researches what might sabotage their journey. She learns that preparing a mountaineering backpack is critically important. Without enough food, warm clothing, and the required equipment, you are doomed.

That is why Dale Carnegie's quote remains relevant, doesn’t it? Becoming part of the Criticize, Condemn, and Complain Culture sabotages your leadership impact.
