Business Management

I believe senior management needs to step back from all the numbers and focus on the people of the organization and culture. As I have learned it starts with leading the people not the numbers leading the people. With an ever changing business environment it is a very difficult task to lead a successful company over the long term.

Employees who are left in there cubicle without any direction or encouragement from there manager will never have an opportunity to meet their monthly numbers. This will cause the company to spend more time and money finding a replacement, which in the
