A new year always calls for a new beginning! Starting the year off with positive thoughts and 153681171positive actions always results in positive outcomes throughout the year. “Leadership, culture, and strategy – these three topics stay [or should stay] on the minds of every effective executive and manager. And why? Because we get it now. We have learned that if we get these things right, everything from service to teamwork to productivity and sales is exponentially improved. We know that nothing happens without people, and people are most engaged, productive, and committed when we feel appreciated and rewarded for our contributions,” explains Terina Allen.
