gloomy experiences provide us context
for how to help shape a positive culture
transformation. Once it begins to take

customer satisfaction and revenue fueling
future growth opportunities for all those
great people you hired for mindset.

strategy that requires great people with
shared vision, who bring authenticity, a
caring mindset, and commitment to your
cause. If this is a strategy you wish to

afraid to look outside our industry for
2. Get engaged. Do the hard work.
Talk to team members, peers, and
other leaders. Ask tough questions
about their employment experience.

criticism. Be ok with being vulnerable.
3. Stay informed. Innovation and
technology will influence every part
of a business. Stay on top of trends
and new ideas that will delight team
members and exponentially advance
