Character Corner This month's pillar of character is Responsibility. Be responsible:  Do what you are supposed to do. Be responsible:  Always do your best. Be responsible:  Use self-control; be self-disciplined. Be responsible:  Be accountable for your choices. Be responsible:  Think before you act - consider the consequences. Building Your Leadership Team Building an effective leadership team requires teamwork and "synergy." Synergy is the highest form of energy created from people's talents. One of the best ways to create synergy is to put together a team of workers who have a diverse set of skills. We all have strengths and weaknesses, but we can complement each other's skills if we work together to achieve our shared goal.
