Committing to action, making strategic sacrifices, and persevering against the current... In an unstable world, staying the course requires courage. This isn't a heroic or sacrificial courage, but a series of concrete and clear actions capable of preserving continuity amidst change.
The Odyssey is not only the story of Odysseus confronting winds and monsters; it is also the story of Penelope, who remained in Ithaca, weaving and unweaving her tapestry each night to resist pressure.

And more importantly, how do you stay there?
To navigate these 10 monstrous shifts, building a culture of courage is indispensable for business growth.
