“I have the confidence now...to be extremely immediate in my decision-making, as long as I map my decisions to our values.”- Glen Blair

How has the pandemic affected you and your organization?   Everyone has been touched in some way or another, and much of the impact has been negative.  It’s also had an interesting flip side - a more positive impact, in many cases.  Today’s guest credits the pandemic as a sort of catalyst that has elevated his skills and outlook in important ways.
