Harsh weather conditions held back home sales in February -- leading to some renewed gloominess by Wall Street analysts.

A word of advice for builders, contractors, developers and all other players interested in re-building strength back into the real estate marketplace: only strong, balanced, and experienced leadership at the executive level will pull the industry through to the next upcycle. According to Bill Ferguson, author of the new book "Keepers of the Castle: Real Estate Executives on Leadership and Management" it is time to rid the industry of the greed and egos that helped contribute to the industry's downfall and allow the "great leaders in the industry" to get real estate back on its feet. Now, says Ferguson, companies must implement another business strategy-a focus on leadership and building a leadership bench within their companies. Paul F.

  He probably made as many, or more important decisions regarding our nation's history as any of the other 42 Presidents preceding him. However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House.The only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in, which was in  Independence   Missouri . His wife had inherited the house from her mother and father and other than their years in the White House, they lived their entire lives there.When he retired from office in 1952, his income was a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking them, granted him an 'allowance' and,  later, a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year.After President Eisenhower was inaugurated, Harry ... 02/27/2010
