You probably never give a lot of thought to the famous snack of popcorn. You just reach of the bag of microwavable popcorn out to the cabinet; toss it in the microwave and wait a few minutes for it to be ready. It rarely burns if you cook it the recommended time; it come out hot and ready to eat. You pour it in the bowl and head to the couch to munch down!

Like me, you never give it a second thought. You simply enjoy! Well, there is lot to the history and background on simple popcorn. The persistence of popcorn is similar to the need for leaders to be persistent and constantly move toward the goal. This webinar will discuss the need for leaders to remain persistent to overcome opposition to progress.
