Here's What's Inside:
YOU
Are you a creative person that likes coming up with ideas or starting new projects in a hectic environment?
Or do you prefer to work all by yourself, taking on one task at a time?
Do you like being on stage giving a speech to a big audience, or do you prefer talking to a small group?
YOUR TEAM
To build a successful team you need to do more than gather a group of people with the right skills.
Your team should cover complementary skill sets so they can accomplish tasks that you, as the team leader, could not do on your own.
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
Most people want to be part of a positive, inclusive, and purpose-filled work environment.
Getting actively engaged employees means that leadership needs to be engaging, and that everybody must be able to understand their purpose in the company.
