*** Quote of the Month ***
Any manager, when goals are not being met, identifies the impediments and whenever possible removes them. A good manager goes further by identifying and removing potential impediments before they lead to the goals not being met. A great manager makes this seem easy. Tony Bowden, Socialtext
