Brad'sPearlsofWisdomfor BuddingEntrepreneurs

“Understanding in general is the most important thing I have learned in my experience. Understanding differences in culture and values, communication style and responses, power distance, and uncertainty avoidance as well as strengths and opportunities for growth.

The biggest challenge and often the biggest way to build a cohesive team is a simple understanding of the individuals around you and how they think, understand, learn and feel. This approach makes an enormous difference in being able to support them and through that support, make them not only feel like a valued part of a team but also, have them perform to the best of their abilities.”
