Yesterday I attended a dinner at Wegman's 2006
and at this Ladies professional Golf Association ... I felt Robert Wegman’s spirit which kept this tournament alive.
This grocery chain leader cared deeply about the women golfers, the mentally challenged children’s camps that the LPGA supports yearly, and the city of 
down a few years ago, and Robert offered to pay for it… that it was his love of people and of excellence they could attain … that inspirited the 2006 season. Do leaders you know look to others and value their offerings…?
Robert Wegman passed on this year but people at the LPGA yesterday missed him fiercely … and you sensed his smile over the whole event. You also saw his brain based leadership, and especially his interpersonal intelligence. Everybody we spoke to told stories of how he valued people and encouraged diversity. He’d have been proud of stars this year like Lorena, Annika Sorenstam, Paula Creamer, Julie Inskter Jeong Jang, Ai Miyazato, Natalie Gulbis, and Morgan Pressel. This year’s popular players seemed to take on a bit of Robert 
Wegman’s penchant for people, and his willingness to give back to the community too, especially in their spoken appreciation of handicapped children’s camps.
The LPGA inspired a top trait that brain based leaders share – they look to the gifts of others as paramount – and they motivate people to give back to their community in a shared commitment to humanity. That’s interpersonal intelligence at its best, and it’s also likely one of the main leadership traits that ensures the LPGA will continue in
