2011 Hall of Famers: In A Class by Themselves –Michelson

Often, it's a fine line that separates the "best" from the rest. Some leaders seem to have an extra gear, able to shift into overdrive when the going gets tough. Others possess an innate sense of timing. They know just when to pull the trigger on a major business decision, and when their companies need to alter course in response to prevailing winds swirling amidst a sea of change. By the same token, leaders realize that they cannot achieve success alone, and thus adhere to the philosophy of empowering their employees and not micromanaging. The 2011 induction class into the Printing Impressions/RIT Printing Industry Hall of Fame illustrates these winning traits—and how they've resulted in both their individual, and overall company, success.
