With leadership, we always advise to look at your individual team members and their own thoughts and perspectives. Despite all this, we have more similarities than differences.

As a student, we did all nighters’ to complete our assignments or prepare for exams. We also did all nighters’ to have fun- but this isn’t the topic for this time. Let’s focus on the sleepless nights for a tangible outcome. Mostly, in corporate life, we don’t do all nighters’. Mostly, we do long days,…
