We don’t bet on products. We don’t bet on ideas. We bet on people.
As a leader, your most valuable resource is always the people in your organization. We don’t bet on strategies. We don’t bet on products. We don’t bet on ideas. We bet on people. After all, they are the ones who create the strategies, products, and ideas. Developing people doesn’t happen accidentally. Developing leaders must be intentional. We will share our experiences when it comes to being intentional about developing people.
