There are many definitions of what makes a good leader, but Richard A. Littlefield was the epitome of a great leader.  Dick Littlefield had the innate ability to recognize the strengths and hidden attributes in everybody he knew. Always capitalizing upon the positives and never harping on the negatives, Dick held the fervent belief that everyone has the potential to positively influence any situation. It was his mission to bring out the personal best in those he met and leave them with a sense of self worth and value. A compassionate leader who worked hard and never sacrificed his integrity or honesty, Dick Littlefield's guiding principle, to "always do the right thing for people", is the premise behind the award named in his honor. The Richard A. Littlefield Team Excellence Award is presented annually to an employee of cm&b who has shown exceptional personal growth as well as dedication to the cm&b team.
