Channel Eye has joined forces with Royston Guest, leading Business Growth Coach and CEO/Founder of Pathways Global, in our column, ‘Ask the Business Coach’.
Being a 21st-century business leader is a demanding and exciting challenge. The world is growing and changing so rapidly that it requires leaders’ innovative thinking skills to stay ahead of their competitors and keep their businesses relevant and agile.
2024 will be no exception.
Three key takeaways
- Performing whilst transforming.
- Manage the tension between profit and purpose.
- Leading the ecosystem that surrounds you.
