Service to America winners 2011

What is leadership?  It’s a question I’m regularly asked and that real leaders ponder often.

Eight of the 2011 Service to America award winners provide their take on the answer.  

Each Fall, the Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals ceremony honors federal employees who have made significant contributions to our country.

The honorees are chosen based on their commitment and innovation and on the impact of their work in meeting key national needs. These folks clearly know something about leading.  More important, they are doing it and doing it well.  Partnership. Collaboration. Creativity.  Innovation.  Vision.  May you be inspired to great service.
