Vol. 3, No. 4    May  2006

Welcome to the May 2006 edition of the Leadership eNotes.  This edition includes articles about negotiating and branding.  Also, looking forward to rest and relaxation this summer, why not read one of the suggested books in the Book Review list?  

As noted in the last month’s edition, TEC became Vistage in April.  Check out the new look of my web site at www.SeattleVistage.com and the new Vistage International site at www.vistage.com.
 
Have a great month!
