Eric Schnell, MEd
“Great leaders are like choir conductors. They recruit people with diverse voices, determine which work to perform, set the tempo, challenge and support each person to fully develop their voice, and create amazing works that no one member could accomplish alone. And it all works because they listen deeply and constantly.”
-Eric Schnell
