Adapting Your Brand to Today’s Ever-Changing Business Environment
Being insanely great in today’s hyperspeed, attention-deficit business world is indeed a challenge. You’re pulled in a thousand different directions putting out fires, skimming surfaces, giving five minutes (or less) of thought to strategic problems, firing off responses to colleagues’ emails … all before 9 a.m. This pace encourages you to default to what you’ve always done, to preserve the status quo. Exactly the opposite of Jobs’ approach.
