Every leader in his or her career is faced with opportunities to make a difference.  As a leader, I have been given the opportunity to make a difference and build on the great foundation that has been handed to me.  I have accepted the position of President for Spirax Sarco Inc, USA.  I look forwarding to leading this great organization, learning from the strengths and experience of an amazing team and building the legacy for the next generation.  Leaving a legacy requires a commitment to building shareholder and stakeholder value every day.  My goal and commitment to my new team is to do exactly that; together we will succeed.  We will seize the moment and opportunity each days brings!

It is not easy to plough a new path to make a vision a reality.  True leaders will be successful not only in having the vision but in making it happen.  Driving execution versus leading execution of a strategy is the ownership of the destination.  Leading others to make the vision their passion leads to a sustainable future and realized vision.  Those who drive execution may reach the destination, the question remains as to whether it will be sustained.
