The Angel and The Monster Well, I for one would never have thought to put Lady Gaga and Mother Teresa side by side in an article about leadership. Fortunately, someone else did.

January 23, 2011When I was in Salt Lake City last week, the Sundance Film Festival was beginning in nearby Park City, Utah. The festival is hosted annually by the Sundance Institute, founded in 1981 by Robert Redford to “create an environment designed to foster independence, discovery, and new voices in American film.” Today, the institute’s mission continues through support of independent [...]
