Nashville CEOs have their finger on the pulse of the local business community. The Business Journal is bringing that expertise to you in a monthly series featuring the perspective of some of Music City’s most influential executives. This month, we asked, “How has the past year influenced your leadership style?”
“Being a leader means being decisive, direct, honest and communicative with your team members. … In years like 2020, I had to give myself daily reminders of this truth. In March 2020, I didn’t have the answers, so it was challenging to be decisive and direct. … I had to remind myself … that all we could do was to take the next right step. … 2020 will forever be imprinted on my leadership style. … It’s reinforced some leadership fundamentals: be decisive, direct, honest and over-communicative.”
