\u201cLeadership is not a new topic to business or any other discipline for that matter,\u201d said Professor Louis R. Ruvolo, M.B.A., director of Graduate Business Programs at Saint Peter\u2019s University. \u201cLeaders are everywhere around us, but it takes more than a title to be a leader. Leaders have vision and determination to evangelize ideas that engage people to achieve new results.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know poor leadership is the number one reason why people leave companies, so we\u2019re offering support to businesses with a focused day of learning about great leadership,\u201d added\u00a0 Deidra Viney, general manager at ExpressPros.<\/p>\n
