Advice to Management

Build on team morale instead of your own career to the top. Remember what you were hired to do: to manage your team.

Give recognition for hard work and do not discourage employees. Tear down the boys club mentality.

Give employees a career path and something to work towards. Give employees ownership and visibility to the business improvements that are making an impact.

Stop the offshoring and nearshoring!
