“In the past we requested applicants answer a variety of leadership questions.  This year, we let the applicants determine what constitutes leadership with their open-ended leadership statements.  And the finding was that leadership meant determination in the face of adversity, cutting-edge industry leadership, and employee stewardship.” -Dr. Rebecca Blacksmith
