Successful business leaders know that when they keep their focus on the core of business, their company thrives. If there are no people there is no organization, company, or community. This is why it’s essential to enjoy working with, through, and for people. Leaders who focus on inspiring their people to stretch their personal and professional growth create the kind of synergy that is necessary for a forward-focused company or organization.
