Business Tip of the Week:

It is important to remain ENGAGED.   As we have been reminded in recent months, change is the only constant. This means we have to learn to flow with the tide and the highs and lows it will bring. The wave of sustainable leadership will continue to be in flux, so it is important to remain engaged and make course corrections as necessary to keep leading throughout the winds of change.     Kladouris, Ken. “Council Post: Three Tips For Adopting A Sustainable Leadership Model.” Forbes, Forbes Magazine, 27 Jan. 2021, www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinesscouncil/2021/01/27/three-tips-for-adopting-a-sustainable-leadership-model/?sh=3e9fef026d7a.
