  • It is really important that you understand as a leader what is important, you know the

  • idea of clear vision of where we are going in the future, it is as important now as ever

  • but possibly more so, so I think some of it is about leaning forward, being active in

  • the important conversations at a senior level and just making sure that youre going forward

  • right now some things really don’t change, it is still about knowing how to pitch something

  • and telling a really good story and getting people excited and that’s always been the

  • case in business and I think that is just as true today. So those 2 things combined,

  • so think big, you know, create a movement internally and then know how to tell that
