ICEL Chair: Creating Connections
by Stephanie Johnson, CCE, Gritton & Associates
It's not personal; it's strictly business. Right? At least that is what I learned from The Godfather. Do you know the scene? Michael Corleone says it when he offers to commit an act of violence to take revenge for their family. Their family business is VASTLY different from the family business I work for, thank heavens.
