It sounds a lot like great leaders who can adapt to ever-changing circumstances, harnessing data and insight to guide their t…

“Observant leaders see the world differently; they see patterns others miss.”

In a world that never stops changing, leaders are often tasked with making sense of chaos. The greatest leaders are those who observe - not just look but truly see.
