As we move toward businesses slowly opening up again, I thought this would be a good time to reflect on what it takes to be an authentic leader in troubled times. The past few months have been unprecedented in terms of a global shutdown. We have never seen a time when the world essentially stopped and most of us were forced to work from home. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we are happy to welcome back HR Expert, Neil Cosby. Neil Cosby is a seasoned Senior Human Resources professional with HR generalist experience spanning over 20 years. Neil is a true believer in the necessity for solid HR infrastructure in any organization that must be aligned with the overall business goals and objectives.
