I always believe that ultimately, if people are paying attention, then we get good government and good leadership, says President Barack Obama. And when we get lazy, as a democracy and civically start taking shortcuts, then it results in bad government and politics. It is of the essence that our business leaders, big and small, take the reigns of our economy and lead the country in an honest, hard-working and innovative direction to emerge from these challenging times more learned and smarter than before.
