When Mandy McKaskle lost her brother, she was devastated. In her grief, she decided to travel to Mexico—and this experience not only changed her life, but saved her life as well. Mandy learned the power and value of travel: connecting to other people, getting out of your comfort zone, and staying adaptable. As she says, this experience made her a better leader and helped her grow to new heights.
The same takeaways apply to the business world. According to Mandy, good business leaders must know how to create positive relationships with their teams, deal with uncomfortable situations, and adapt when something does not work out as planned. Above all, they must maintain a positive focus despite any challenges or unexpected situations they may encounter.
