According to Denise, The majority of corporate “transformations” fail to meet their objectives. We know it is usually not because of a flawed business strategy, but due to poor people management or approaches that have not changed, despite the very different business model evolution. Better leaders and managers simply hit or exceed their goals more reliably. Denise’s also the author of Remarkable Leadership Lessons.
