Fascinated by this book "Launchpad Republic"! It talks about the importance of long-term vision for businesses, but also being adaptable. The most successful companies can pivot and change when needed. Collaboration and giving back to the community are also big themes – makes sense that strong networks can give you a real edge. And lastly, the book emphasizes the power of diversity in driving innovation. Having a variety of perspectives on your team is a recipe for success!
