In the 40-plus years I've been involved in the pool and spa industry, I've had the opportunity to work with a variety of organizations on the local, state and national levels. Every step along the way, I worked closely with people who displayed a variety of leadership styles and have done my best to perform well when I've been called on to take those leading roles myself. These experiences leave me convinced that the purposeful leadership of those able to inspire others to share their way of thinking can make a huge difference. These leaders guide an industry or an organization in a positive direction while setting the table for success not just in the present, but for the future. Conversely, I've seen how ineffectual leadership clearly retards overall progress and results in missed opportunities.
