Hello Max,
Thank you for your note, sorry I haven't been back to you sooner.
Computer issues, needed to upgrade my chip and motherboard. The software
seems to outrun the power to run it at times.
Your note is interesting. I have a question for you do you see leadership
as a subset of diversity or diversity as a subset of leadership, or how in
your opinion are they related? I need to better understand your
perspective.
If you provide this I might be able to better orient my answer.
My Best to you
John D.
