We think it is important for you to meet these business and community leaders who are building impressive careers while making a commitment to help their communities grow and prosper for future generations to enjoy.
They represent the building blocks of leadership and to be recognized with this award illustrates that they possess high standard qualities in abundance.
Since 2006 Cascade Business News as Presented the Accomplished Under 40 winners. One of last year’s winners shared her business leadership philosophy. Laura Moss of Ascent Architecture & Interiors said, “Leadership is going above and beyond what’s expected of you. It’s more than just listening to your team members; it’s about emphasizing the value you place in their opinions. Leadership means finding innovative solutions to a variety of problems. It’s caring for and participating in your business and your community.”
Over the years the answers have shared a common theme of leading by example and encouraging others to foster critical thinking, creativity and problem solving. The energy that comes with this focus creates collaborative community results that demonstrates trust, credibility and respect in every interaction.
