The country now prepares to inaugurate new leadership, the transition team is in overdrive, and our new President is quickly assembling his inner circle of staff and advisors. With the ever evolving and uncertain state of world politics and the economy, it begs the question “Who do you want to surround yourself with?”. Family and friends should always be first on that list in good times and bad. And as we move into a period of change unprecedented in our lifetime, your “inner ring” of close business associates, strategic partners and employees becomes more critical than ever. Choose them wisely, make sure they share your core values, and disengage from relationships that are not healthy and productive. Make sure that your Transition Team going into 2009 is the right one!
