More about
ROGER BRADY

Roger Brady My family always comes first.

I love to lead and this quote from Lao-tsu typifies my leadership style:
To lead people, walk beside them...
As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence.
The next best, the people honor and praise.
The next, the people fear;
and the next, the people hate...
When the best leader's work is done the people say, "We did it ourselves!"
