The Functions of a Friend… The old saying goes…”You have very few friends and many associates.” I believe we throw that label around very loosely and we call many people friends that should be called associates. What function does a friend have in your life? I have some close friends who I know I can call on and depend on …

One of the statements that leaders speak that makes me cringe is the statement, “We’ve Never Done This Before.” This statement epitomizes a culture of complacency and contentment.
