Posted at 4:45:54 PM by Chris Hallberg

Business Execution just got considerably more difficult, now you have to proactively improve (and quickly) if you want to stay profitable and relevant.

Posted at 8:00:00 AM by Chris Hallberg

Quality leadership is necessary not only to keep a company afloat, but to encourage growth and forward movement. Ideas about what makes a strong business leader have changed over the years. But many entrepreneurs, managers, and even employees are still stuck on some of the outdated, unproductive ideas of the past.
