Knowing your “why” helps strengthen your leadership

A person’s purpose in life is also known as their “why,” and is the reason something / someone exists or the reason that something is done.

Leadership Success Tactic: Tracking Accomplishments

Debbie Collard

Sometimes, we get so busy that we forget to celebrate what we’ve accomplished. Instead, we just look to the next hill we need to climb or task we need to finish.
