This may seem like a strange question: Do you love your organization? Strange perhaps because you never thought about it. Or perhaps strange because you aren’t sure you would use the world love in that way. But this question can have a lot to do with your ultimate success – as a leader, as an
We all operate within the boundaries of our perspective. It informs what we believe to be true, what is possible, and where to look for solutions to our challenges.
