By all appearances, the current business environment may be considered one of the most challenging, as companies continue to face economic uncertainties, evolving workplace dynamics, a tight labor market, and new employment regulations, especially testing the mettle of small and medium-sized businesses. While the impacts can be amplified in small and medium-sized businesses, savvy leadership can provide the stability necessary for employees and the company to address change head-on for unbridled success.In most cases, a good leader is at the helm of many successful companies; however, exceptional leaders who cultivate great leaders at every level within an organization are well-positioned to not only embrace change but also take their companies to new levels with a team that emulates the characteristics of its leadership and results in outstanding achievements.
