They have the vision and will see it through to completion. Leadership skills enable this type to play a dramatic role in shaping U.S. corporate culture. Independence is the force that motivates. The perfect think tank specialist. --Kiersey Temperament Sorter REFERENCES Greg Wagner Web Age Solutions (215) 620-7064 Home gwagner@webagesolutions.com Ken Paull Computer Imaging Applications (215) 540-9685 ken@computerimagingapps.com Janet Smith: Sew Nice Too Quilts (717) 684-0896 sew2@pa.net
