The Dawn Wall: It’s time for a ‘cathartic pause’.

Have you watched the documentary ‘The Dawn Wall’ on Netflix? Travis shares how a scene from the documentary prompted some thinking around how important it is for leadership teams to take what he calls a ‘cathartic pause’. Have you taken stock of the impact of the past season on you, your leadership team or your organisation? If not, we encourage you to consider doing so. Building good culture is a marathon and not a sprint. May this be a valuable exercise as you continue the journey.
