Episode 38: It May Be Too Late To Say Happy New Year, But It's Right On Time To Set Your Organization's Strategic Priorities

(Recorded 1-15-26)Comedian and writer, Larry David, famously established a time frame 📅 within which it is appropriate to wish someone a Happy New Year. What even the legendarily cranky and inflexible David would applaud👏, however, is a leader's recognizing💡 that it's almost never too early or too late to establish strategic objectives for his/her/their organization. In this week's video, I provide a "Top 5" actions HR professionals and inside counsel should be taking (ideally, right now) to get ready for what almost assuredly will be an unpredictable and tumultuous 2026. While taking these steps may not ensure perfection in the coming year, I promise you it will, at least, make it one that is pretty, pretty, pretty good. 🙌 As always, thanks so much for watching, for commenting and for sharing! ❤️🫶🙏 Duane Morris LLP Duane Morris Institute ______________________________________________________Michael S.
