LEADERSHIP LESSONS

• Capitalizing On The Private Networking Opportunity Requires The Right Know-How

  Private wireless networking is gaining ground in the U.S., and rapidly so, too. The closing of the CBRS auctions in 2020 has seen more enterprises across the U.S. look to unlock the inherent benefits of owning and operating their own networks – better connectivity, improved control, greater reliability, improved security, and perhaps most importantly, greater cost efficiency. While few doubt the vast potential of what private networks can provide, most enterprises will require support and encouragement from the supporting ecosystem to move from concept to deployment.

• Versatility Is Vital For Data Center Design

  With large companies like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook building more of their own data centers annually, it's natural that they want to design their facilities to handle any and all possible storage or compute needs they might have. But the different tasks a modern data center is expected to perform for an enterprise vary widely and require vastly different resources. In addition, the increase in complex cyber threats also makes it increasingly important that the data center can secure sensitive information over the long haul.

• Great Leadership Style: The Power Of Intentionality

  What does it mean to be an intentional leader? Many people assume it is synonymous with being assertive or decisive. In fact, intentionality is different, though related. It is a directedness toward something. In leadership, intentionality is a sustained focus on a goal or initiative, one that has purpose and meaning for the enterprise. People experience an intentional leader as deliberate. They have a plan. It is clear. Everybody understands. The leaders know what they’re doing and why.
