Today’s best managers know that creating a firm that is resilient and sustainable is vital in today’s marketplace. Firms will be successful that are perceptive, vigilant, continuously lean, think differently from the rest, and anticipate change. Firms that are proactive, are aware of who they are, have strong leadership, make decisive decisions quickly, and are willing to be innovative, will perform well. Lastly, firms that know how to solve problems from the top down, and can get changes implemented, will out-perform the competition. Firms that don’t do these things will be left in the dust.
