Optimist and New York Times bestselling author Simon Sinek says: Company Culture = Values + Behavior Sinek believes values such as integrity, innovation, and honesty, which we often see […]
Overcorrection and Risk Shifting
I wanted to share two of Carol Roth’s recent LinkedIn posts regarding AI. We are all trying to figure out how this technology is going to impact business, and how to use it effectively and for the right functions.

The Real Reasons Your Employees Quit
There are employers who think they can ask for the undoable from their employees because they are the leaders in their industry or pay the top salaries.
