TOPEKA, Kan.
--

Topeka police said a man who was trying to rob a discount cigarette store got stuck in a vent and had to be rescued by firefighters. Police said the man was stuck in a ventilation pipe for about three hours early Thursday. He eventually managed to call his daughter, who called 911.

Firefighters found the man head down in a ventilation pipe and pulled him out. He was taken to a Topeka hospital and will be charged after he is released.

Police Lt Chuck Haggard said the burglar "wasn't very cat-like."

Cross shares the components of strong leadership and discusses why leadership is not a position. Rather it is a set of choices and those choices can, at times, be challenging.

Cross and Gasaway also discuss the role of vision in setting the course for an organization and the part that leaders and followers play in creating organizational success.
