"Strike 3 - you're out" "Ball 4 - take your base" "Out of the
park...homerun " It's all pretty cut and dry in baseball. The
umpire makes a call, and for better or worse, that's the way it is
(well, maybe a review here and there ). With leadership however,
rules aren't quite as clear cut...there isn't always one right call
to make, there isn't always one strategy to employ, and there isn't
always only one person who makes the call. Leadership is a process
which, to be utilized successfully, requires an understanding of
some basic tenets, or, as we call them, Bases of Leadership. How do
