In the current environment, change is no longer an infrequent ‘initiative’ that needs managing—it is all around us, it is constant, and it is not going away. But this does not mean that leaders should give up their autonomy: In too many cases, we experience change as happening to us (reactive stance) instead of proactively […]
One of the most challenging barriers new leaders must overcome is the lack of confidence they often face when starting a new role.

Yet networking doesn’t just happen, and it is far more vital than many realize. Networking is more than talking […]
