Not great leadership or culture

Leaf Group Response

The last 18 plus months have been challenging for so many for various reasons and we believe our people have stepped up tremendously to support each other, dedicate themselves to their work, learn more about each other and all of this mostly virtual. We believe that is culture and that is leadership.
