Submitted by Jennifer Selby Long on July 19, 2010Earning an MBA is a big accomplishment, but applying what you’ve learned requires a particular skill set and mindset.

Submitted by Jennifer Selby Long on April 6, 2010If you’ve ever tried to lead anyone anywhere, you know that it won’t happen unless it resonates with their values. In a business, that starts with the values of your most essential top performers at each tier, the employees with the highest potential, the opinion leaders, and your next generation of senior leadership.
