Success & Failure in Retail

Over the years, I noticed that world class retail leaders artfully master the elements of thinking, functional knowledge, and leadership. Whether retail leaders encounter merchandising issues, operational issues, and/or human resources issues; it is about critically thinking to create appropriate actions in retail outlets, and motivating teams to shape the situation into success. Every failure I encountered had to do with the wrong decision, the wrong execution, and/or the wrong attitude towards people.
