7 books every leader needs to read and why...

Interestingly enough, it’s the leadership characteristics we typically consider the least that I’ve, personally, come to rely on the most throughout my journey.

These 7 books, in particular, have been instrumental in my foundation building as a leader and catapulted my ability to identify the right talent, enhance working relationships, and communicate with others on a much more effective level. May they have a similarly positive impact on your growth and leadership development!

5 Things I Learned Through Internships

5 Things I Learned Through Internships

1. Every company will teach you how they operate and their unique language. I eventually switched my major from Business to International Studies with the newfound understanding each company will teach me their own ways, a general knowledge of business helps but I could afford to spend more time learning other subjects that are actually very applicable to where I wanted to go within business.

Post-Interview... What did you Learn?

There’s the online job listing. There’s the ‘About Us’ web page. There are sites such as Glassdoor and Wikipedia. And if you’re really lucky, there’s an inside employee contact. These generally make up a job seeker’s sources of information of what it would actually be like to work at the company. Most of the time it just seems like far too little to go off of to make the career/life decision comfortably.
