Solutions 21 Weekly Insights
If you can only read one thing this week...

by Tyler Palko | Posted on June 7th, 2017
Have you ever found yourself engaged in a conversation with a colleague prior to the Monday morning office meeting about yesterday’s game?

I see the same kind of conversations when it comes to leadership. Everyone wants to talk about it. Everyone has an answer. The truth, however, is that we have evolved into individual contributors. There is such a lack of development of new leadership that it’s actually alarming. This isn’t even my Monday-morning-quarterback opinion! It’s fact! Check the surveys and statistics.
