The Great Resignation is here! In the United States alone, 4.3 million employees have quit their jobs. On top of that, there are over 11 million open jobs in the U.S.  How has this impacted your business?  Or, if you’re the one looking for a new job, what has been your strategy.

Join me this week at the Cafe for my discussion with Kathy Dawson, CEO of Dawson and Dawson. We’ll explore the current state of the job market, and impact of Covid on the way people work, and the approach to hiring that businesses now need to take?

You screwed up. Made a bad decision. Now if you’re human, this has happened to you.  It’s inevitable.

Whether you’re an employee or business leader it has happened. And, I’m sure it has happened in your personal life as well.

The question is, how do you deal with this bad decision? And, what do you do about it?  One of the questions you need to consider with any bad decision is what are the unintended consequences?  

Join me, Angelo Ponzi, at the Business Growth Cafe as I explore this topic and offer up some ideas and steps you can take to deal with a “Bad Decision.”
