This video is based on a blog post by Mike Shipulski in which he shares his insights on what leads to great work. I chip in with my insights on the same topic and add some color to the same.

In this video, I talk about the challenges that leaders face in an emergent world that is shifting and emerging at an ever rapid velocity.
