Main Takeaways: Making the Leap Towards Holistic Product Development The Power of Communication in Becoming an Adaptive Leader Quote: “Can we expect our leaders to have the answers and to come up with a game plan that will just make sure things work out? But we have so much evidence in front of us that shows us that it's not true, it never happens. And when things get done in any organization, it's not just the leader who did it.
