MANAGE FROM A HIGHER LEVELSM

Interesting tagline; but what does this mean?

ü  It means building growth and a future, rather than spending valuable time just to stay in-place

ü  It means avoiding backward steps

ü  It means the business generates the cash, the energy and the innovation to thrive over time

ü  It means gaining commitment from subordinates and partners to shoulder some of the load

“A wise person puts all their eggs in one basket, and watches the basket.”

Andrew Carnegie
