n behalf of all of us at Ground Support Worldwide, we would
like to offer our congratulations to the Leaders of the Year
featured in this month's issue.

Additionally, we would like to extend our thanks
to everyone who took the time to send us so many
worthy nominations for this program.
Getting a closer glimpse of some of the leadership in our industry gave me a spiritual boost
in light of the current economic situation facing
aviation. These are trying times, to say the least.
In talking with both our Team Leader of the
Year, Dana Perry, and Lifetime Achievement recipient, Larry Laney, both men emphasized the importance of remaining positive.
A leader's actions give others license to behave
the same way. And leadership qualities become
exponentially more important during a crisis. So,
whether a leader is conveying positivity or negativity, it will spread.

A focus on the positive and helping the industry
emerge stronger is far more useful than dwelling
on details that cannot be changed.
Beyond positivity, focus on clear communication. Make sure your team has the information
needed to be engaged, efficient and safe.
Adversity also brings people together. That
is certainly taking place now as industry decision-makers are banding together to formulate
plans that will help us weather COVID-19.
We don't know exactly what the future holds for
aviation, but strong leaders will always guide their
teams to success in the face of hardship.
