We see Transformational leadership as well‚ which is a focus of what that leadership accomplishes. Every leader has a goal‚ every leader has a vision and it’s what they do with these goals and

Goff is correct when she says the American Dream is dead. Well‚ at least the classic‚ ideal picture of what has been called the american dream.
