I agree with you on your point about the best leaders being those who embrace change. I think that it’s very important to be flexible when in leadership positions, and to both trust and empower the people that you’ve chosen to employ and work with to make decisions. I believe that not doing this and being too rigid can hurt companies…[Read more]

I like that you mentioned the soft skills that being a leader requires – I think that they are skills that are often overlooked. In my opinion, these skills can often be more important than technical skills. One of my first bosses used to say that you can always teach someone how to complete a task, but you can’t teach attitude and it’s…[Read more]

Something that I didn’t think about, that you pointed out, is how not ensuring the safety of products can put Wanda at risk of losing her business entirely. I also agree with you regarding companies being held responsible for manufacturing + distributing unsafe products.

I agree that companies should be held responsible for the safety of their products unless a consumer uses the product in a way that it was intended to be used.

Your post made me realize how much I don’t think about prepaid cards anymore and how popular they were when I was growing up (whether it be a gift card or one of those prepaid visa cards). I received one last year and the company it was from allowed you to register your card so that you could get a replacement in case it got lost.…[Read more]

I was intrigued by your post because cryptocurrency is a topic that’s been difficult for me to understand. I purchased some bitcoin a few years ago but sold it last year because of what you mentioned – the volatility of the crypto market. From what I do know, the value of most crypto has been pretty low this year so I’m curious when…[Read more]

Something that I also spend time considering in terms of consumers is why the low cost etc. isn’t a concern. In my opinion, the low cost of goods for people with stronger currencies (because, realistically, goods at a lower price aren’t necessarily “cheap” for everyone) encourages a rapid cycle of overconsumption that does end up…[Read more]

Outsourcing can greatly enhance the efficiency and productivity of companies when looking at it from a business standpoint. For example, if a company has a lot of administrative tasks that are taking up a significant portion of their employees’ t…[Read more]

I appreciate you speaking about this topic. As you said, many New Yorkers depend on the MTA to navigate the city and surrounding areas which impacts how much maintenance the train system needs. I understand that the maintenance is expensive and that ridership is not at the same level that it was pre-onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but…[Read more]

This article from CNN talks about the varying costs of eggs and how eggs have been the poster child representation of the overall inflation that has been occurring over the last two years. Lately, the cost of eggs has been decreasing since avian flu has not been as much of a threat as it was last…[Read more]

I really love that you thought about ways to support your community when considering what types of advertisements to invest in. From sponsoring a local kids’ sports team to offering discounts to developing a loyalty program, your plan sounds community-oriented and mutually beneficial. Ice cream shops, cafés, and the like often end up…[Read more]

Based on that information, I chose to perform research instead of spending on adv…[Read more]
