“I think it's very important that no matter where you are in the company, whether you're the business owner or you're just in a leadership position, if you are driving a change, make it very well known to your team. The perspective of a business owner, leader, or someone who's directing, is going to be different than the people who are working for them, or will be shouldering that responsibility”.
