Leadership with Erin Saylor

He should be a good follower in as much as he is a good leader.

Repair vs Replace Decision Making with Susan Lubell

With refurbishment, you check the life-cycle cost of an asset. Sometimes, companies make small repairs because it’s relatively inexpensive and they can easily get the asset up and running quickly versus replacing the asset which may take time in lieu of internal approval process and purchase lead time.
