Leadership during challenging times doesn't just show you what you're made of; your effort can inspire those around you to keep going when it seems the hardest. As we continue to navigate this "now normal", I'm inspired by Dr. Scott Harris and his leadership. In the face of a global pandemic, he and his staff are doing all they can to educate, encourage, and save lives.
