Construction Underway for St. Charles Borromeo
If you've been driving around Visalia you may have noticed the corner of Caldwell and Akers recently undertook a street improvement facelift. The street improvements, which included the widening of both Caldwell and Akers, a new median on the south end of Akers, a new traffic signal, water, storm drain, and sewer connections, have been made to accommodate the construction of Saint Charles Borromeo Catholic Church. In addition, new landscaping was added to the street frontage and street lighting was installed. The site improvement permit was recently submitted to the City and is in for review and approval. In the interim, a new 13,000 square foot parish hall will be constructed to serve as the church site until the design and fundraising is complete to build the new church.

The Leadership Challenge - An Inspiration for all Business Owners & Managers
In T he Leadership Challenge 4th Edition, co-authors and colleagues James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner, Ph.D. detail the importance of being an effective leader and the commonalities amongst successful leaders around the world. They emphasize the power of forward-thinking, engaging employees in the process of the growth plan, leading by example so others will follow suit and the correlation all of these things have to the long-term success and existence of a company. They go on to illustrate that leaders learn from their experiences, taking into account the best leaders take failure and set-backs in stride and morph them into success. In this economically challenging time, true leaders will emerge because they are forced to face the uncertainty and find a way to overcome the economic obstacles. Posner is Dean of the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University where Kouzes is the Dean's Executive Professor of Leadership.
