-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The true worth of a leader lies
in their ability to take speedy action!
It lies in their sense of priority and urgency
in not letting time slip by!
As leaders, let's be thorough and precise
when it comes to reporting and communication
and let's move at lightening speed
to be by the side of members
who need our focus and attention!
