What if you just don’t know
Part of our success in our work lives comes from our ability to think ahead and plan. We know where we’re going. Often we’re the leaders, the ones with the strategic plans, the ones who have the long view. We know how to figure ways to avoid dangers and distractions. We know our goals and […]
