There are many opportunities but where should we focus?
At times it can be frustrating. The team is not aligned and going in too many directions. Time and resources are stretched, how do we make the most of both? It would boost our confidence to have everyone understand where we’re going and why, and be accountable to each another to get it done!
We get it.
