Whether you’re trying to become a more effective leader, working to grow your company, or planning to build a top-notch sales team to power that growth, we’ve published articles to help you through the entire process.
Here’s a recap of everything we put together for you in 2021 so you can hit the ground running in 2022.
Founder/Leader Considerations to Guide You Through the Pandemic and Beyond
Your company’s success is tightly linked to your capacity as a leader, which means leadership is one of the most critical skills founders need for business success. Fortunately, leadership can be learned.
There are many sides to great leadership. It includes how you communicate with your employees and customers, sustainably scale your company, hire and train the right employees, manage work-related stress, and enable critical departments – like the sales team – while they’re in the field. It also requires you to establish and maintain a winning company culture.
We’ve dedicated a lot of time and effort toward making sure you have the best information on this subject. Here are a few gems we published on the leadership this past year:

How to Create Scalable Growth in the New Normal
2021 was as challenging for businesses as the year before. Several companies were lucky to survive, let alone scale.
Companies have had to deal with changing customer preferences and behavior, for one. Adopting and managing remote or hybrid work models were also among the challenges faced. Employee burnout has been at an all-time high due to pressures in the new normal, and nearly every business has grappled with how to maintain productivity – especially while employees are away from the office.
