Dear Norman,
Welcome to this month's issue of Quantum Leap,
Quantum Leaders' newsletter for leaders who want to
take their companies to the next level of business
success.
This month's issue returns to the challenges of
execution. Developing a strategy is certainly a
challenge yet executing the strategy is where the
real challenge lies.
We continue hope you find this issue as valuable as
in the past. We encourage you to pass this along to
others who would benefit from what we share. Just
click on the "forward email" at the bottom of
the newsletter.
Have a great day,
Norman Wolfe
Quote of the Month
You know what to expect from yourself. What if you

You know what you have accomplished. Build on it,
and you can go wherever you choose.
