Books Quote by Martha Heller
““a fan of author Patrick Lencioni, Stevenson borrows from his concept of "company first" in her leadership program..."In every IT transformation, you make major tradeoffs between current and future functionality, and you need to let the company's needs drive your decisions around strategy, investments, and the sequencing of change. It's company first, your organization second, and you as a leader third.””
