Who doesn’t know what a plumber does? Apparently, a lot of people, including the young people the industry is trying to recruit and members of Congress. Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors – National Association and its chapters are working to change that.

Although it varies by industry, claims made by businesses for slip and fall accidents account for more than 20 percent of general liability claims each year, and have an average payout of more than $20,000. Every business has the potential to experience these incidents, but the retail and commercial industries are often prime targets for slips and falls, most likely due in part to their frequent interaction with the public.

The idea of transformational versus transactional leadership was first introduced to me in a book titled "InSideOut Coaching: How Sports Can Transform Lives" by Joe Ehrmann. Ehrmann is an amazing person and known as "America’s Coach" by many. His book outlines the power coaches have to transform lives when they focus on building character rather than just winning games. This idea of building people first and the results will come was birthed in me by the ideas in Ehrmann’s book.
