Investing is essential

Everything in life has stages. Babies become toddlers. Toddlers turn into kids, and kids eventually grow up to be adults. Like life, your organization is evolving. How it is today is going to be very different than how it is ten years from now. Allowing your employees to remain the same and trust they'll be prepared to help your organization succeed in the future of change is setting yourself up for failure.
