Nothing is more liberating for me as a business leader than to be able to leave behind the useless simplistic how-to recipes I have been used to get from consultants, and learn to consciously deal with the hard truths of business from an adult perspective, recognize my subjectivity, dare to look for the right questions to ask when things get 'stuck,' accept to walk the tightrope in polar situations where a problem does not have any definitive solution, face the consequences of tough decisions, and throughout all of \u003cbr\u003e  these maintain integrity and hope.\" —Michael Cimet, Electronic Data Systems, President for Latin America  \u003cp\u003e\"We live at a time that requires of leaders both competence and authenticity.
