Monday Morning Boost: 9/11 Leadership Lessons

On the 22nd anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, I find myself drawn back to that fateful day and the profound lessons it holds for us as leaders, especially those of us steering the ship of small businesses. Winston Churchill, a beacon of resilience, once said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” It was this very courage that defined leaders in the wake of 9/11.
