As we celebrate Christmas, I was excited to read Eric Harvey’s The Leadership Secrets of Santa Claus: How to Get Big Things Done in YOUR “Workshop”…All Year Long.

And he’s certainly seen more than his share of budget cuts, staff reductions, employees who are either unwilling or unable to adjust to change, technology advancements, increasing demands for higher quality and better service, fluctuations in the economy, competing priorities, ever-growing performance expectations (for all of us), and a whole lot more.
