And we hold ourselves to a higher standard.’ That sets the tone for the rest of the organization as well.” - Brandon Amoroso “Leaders are gonna have to be able to adapt to working with people who prefer to be remote than people who prefer to be in office. And you're going to have to, especially if you've been a leader for a while. Drop some of your preconceived notions around what leadership looks like. Because if you keep trying to stick to your true and tried ways, you're probably gonna be left behind.”- Brandon AmorosoConnect with Brandon on his website https://www.brandonamoroso.com/ Connect with Denis:Email: [email protected]: http://www.leadingchangepartners.com/ Leadership Is Changing Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeadershipIsChanging/Leadership is Changing LinkedIn Page:https://www.linkedin.com/company/leadership-is-changing-podcast/
