Welcome to Wednesday! As you step into the natural pivot point of the week, here’s a brief moment of encouragement and perspective to help you lead the pivots in your life. Leading the Pivot | Information, Not Identity The Moment A direct report pushes back. A teenager argues the point. A friend goes quiet.
