In this masterclass, David DeLong reveals the reasons why many aspirations stall before yeilding tangible results and describes the specific role of leaders in bridging the gap between aspiration and delivery. DeLong also goes on to explain how leaders can sustain momentum by balancing short-term wins with long term goals.
