When a fire destroyed the beloved, centuries-old Putney General Store 18 months ago, some people here cried.
The creaky wooden building where locals arrived for coffee, hardware and gossip, and where tourists ducked in to buy maple syrup by the gallon meant that much to them.
Now, they're crying again.
A suspicious fire swept through the 2 1/2-story structure late Sunday, destroying the vacant post-and-beam structure and with it a piece of the past.
Dr. Richard B. Gasway talks with leadership consultant Howard Cross about his program "Leadership - The Seductive Lie."
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.
