Provide a quote on eCommerce, the digital world, or just what you do overall.
“When profits are high, your team receives a reward or a project finishes early, people celebrate and euphoria overwhelms the team mentality. In this environment, you need to keep people grounded and focused. Remind the team that it’s a slippery slope and that they should use this time not to celebrate, but rather to plan and prepare. Now is the time to secure critical parts of your business, plan for bold strategic decisions and parlay this success into more success.”
