And while much of this blog focuses on dealing with the tough issues of leading and managing, even the tough issues offer opportunities for positive touches.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2010/02/26/this-marine-fights-life-and-leadership-lessons-from-a-family-hero/' addthis:title='This Marine Fights-Life and Leadership Lessons from a Family Hero ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

In my experience in working around and talking with individuals that have outstanding track records in finding and developing new talent, there are three core attributes that they look for...

		<description><![CDATA[Bob is leaving behind the business that he helped start and grow and save and grow and sell and sell again, and no one in BIGCO cares.  Frankly, no one in the upper ranks even knows that he exists.  The dirty little secret: he's just another faceless number on a spreadsheet and his departure will improve the expense to revenue ratio, and solve an annoying compensation problem in this now remote outpost of BIGCO.  Bob is in the prime of his career, an expert and one of the last shreds of the soul of a great business.  Bob is relieved to be moving on, but to BIGCO, it's not even noticeable.  Good for Bob.
