    Leaders I Admire   Michelle Obama   What I admire about Michelle Obama and her leadership skills is that she used her position of power for good. She shows a high level of respect for herself and others.

The problem faced in this case is that the partner should have seen this mistake earlier, but he had been out of town when the file had originally been filed and it had not been reviewed by him. The partner believes that it isn’t Steve’s fault, and his plan is to prepare the file for the next year ...
