Find Certainty in An Uncertain Future
In many ways, I am sure society is well aware of certain leadership principles that have stood the test of time in business environments. Personality traits such as integrity, honesty, and responsibility immediately come to mind; however, in a disruptive world, there are more that, many do not realize, are vital to professional success to find certainty.
Agility in the Pandemic

Many of these types of changes are driven by technology because our customers are influenced by technology and, therefore, are changing the way they interact with us, such as an increase in transparency, thanks to social media, where they can view customer complaints.
