It is a constant process of readjustment. It requires having a clear north star, making adjustments, and then adjusting again as conditions change. It also requires the courage to recognize when something must be broken and rebuilt from the beginning.” - Victor PadeeIn this episode, Victor breaks down what modern revenue leadership requires when markets shift fast.
