3. “Encouraging creativity and critical thinking helps us prepare our students for an uncertain future.” (By @myrondueck)

4. Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don’t want to. (By @richardbranson)

5. Study shows 90% of employees rank themselves in the top 10% of performers. How? Because we tend to rank our intentions versus the actions of others. (By @JasonJj7)
