While preparing yourself and your people are essential in positioning your organization for present and future success, preparing these two mission-critical elements alone will not equip and position your organization to fully realize success through achieving its present mission and goals as it pursues its future vision. Preparing your organization for present and future success must become a mission-critical priority that both you as an organizational leader and the organizational members that you lead passionately and professionally pursue. Understanding your mission-critical role in ensuring that your organization is properly prepared to prudently address both anticipated and unanticipated challenges will determine not only the continued success of your organization, but similarly your success and that of the organizational members that you manage and lead.
