Guest Blog by Mike Andrews, Vice President of Enterprise Sales at Smartsheet.com
Effective leadership is largely about creating a culture of high performance, and motivating and empowering people to achieve organizational goals and objectives. Creating this kind of culture is rooted in the “get it done – results matter” philosophy.
