BaxterMartin's Leadership Team

According to Wikipedia, leadership is often described as "a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task." To us, leadership is not who's running the show but who's at the center of the creative process bringing out the best of his or her crew.

This is BaxterMartin's leadership team.
