Lee dives into leadership shifts post-COVID, highlighting the expanded talent pool with remote work but also the cultural and training challenges it creates. He emphasizes the importance of proactive client communication, creative tax and structure strategies (including re-evaluating LLC vs. S-Corp status), succession planning for aging business owners, and implementing phantom equity plans to retain top talent long-term.
