Being organized and systematic are essential traits to have when you're starting a career. You are expected to be competent, to adapt, and to deliver. But if you're about to step up your game as a business leader or professional, you also need to take your skills to the next level to match the challenges that your new leadership role presents. Keep Reading On this episode, I share the big leap you need to make as you decide to level up -- whether it's a business expansion or a vertical transition of roles in your organization.
