Happy Thanksgiving!

Psalm 92: 1 says, “It is good to give thanks to the Lord.”

For the past two weeks friends on Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn and Twitter and subscribers of LeadingWithQuestions.com were invited to enter the Top Five Questions to Ask on Thanksgiving” contest.

A complimentary printed “Great Leaders ASK Questions – A Fortune 100 List” book and CD Audio Book were promised for the authors of the questions selected.
