What’s is the most important life lesson you learned?
It is always about the team and the people that surround you. You will always be able to carry out the mission and vision of the organization if you have the right team members that are in alignment and focused. That does not always mean that you agree all the time, but when you get to an agreement, you execute on the plan. If the plan needs to be revised, you do so with the wisdom and input from the team.
