Episode 77: Pioneering African Edutainment with Nisha Ligon

Many organizations across the world were forced to adapt and pivot in the last 15 months. And some organizations died because of their failure to pivot and adapt. The ability to adapt and pivot is critical in the survival of an organization. Max McKeown says, “All failure is a failure to adapt, all success is successful adaptation.” So it is in all of our best interest as leaders to learn how to adapt and how to build a culture of pivoting and build adaptable organizations.
