The way leaders have learned to lead has truly changed over the last few years. With change now a constant, leaders need to be attuned to a lesson of Leadership that as a singular, has continued to stand the test of time:

“To be an effective leader, one must be willing to adapt and evolve to the demands of an ever-changing world; The ability to embrace change and transform oneself is simply a non-negotiable in order to achieve ongoing success that will keep us relevant for years to come.”
