Business conditions have changed dramatically since January, and the strategic priorities you defined at the beginning of 2020 may now be temporarily or permanently obsolete.
We aren’t going back to the way things were, and as we approach the end of Q2, this is the perfect time of the year to consider the current state of your business and the gap between where it is and the original aspirations for the year. For most businesses, it’s time to make new choices - choices about what to do and choices about what not to do.
During this episode, Sal Silvester and John Wittry explore how leaders need to reset their thinking, business strategy, and culture to emerge stronger in the second half of 2020.
