TSMA First Quarter Event (February 2012):
The Secrets of Leadership Excellence

of leadership is defined as an ability to influence others for the
purpose of shared achievement. Leadership wisdom equips and motivates
people to effectively manage themselves and consequently inspire and
nurture their teams toward that same goal.

Manufacturers' Alliance, together with ICA Southwest Construction
Roundtable, will welcome Dr. Dan Snively to the Southern Indiana Career
and Technical Center on Friday, February 17. Dr. Snively, an expert in
linking leadership to character, will communicate key leadership traits
