Giving in is not the same as giving up. Sometimes, despite your best intentions, things don’t just work out and it’s better to give in to the signs.
So many leaders on Curveball have, at some point, found themselves in a tricky situation. And yes, sometimes they’ve pulled through.
But what about those times you just can’t pull a rabbit out of a hat? How do you know when it’s time to call time on your business or your dream?
Running any company involves the fine art of juggling when to push beyond the limits, and when to call it quits. Top leaders share their stories of knowing when to fold them... just like As Kenny Rogers sang!
