Resources

Ideas should be shared. As the principal communicator and culture builder at iuvo, I write and communicate extensively with our team. I also regularly write blogs and articles on linked-in to share my ideas or expand on others who have done great work.

Resources from the book Leadership at the Edge The Hyperloop for Business

In my new book, “Leadership at the Edge, The Hyperloop for Business”, there are significant resources for the reader to explore to learn more about the topics. While these are all referenced at the end of the book, they are more easily referenced as hyperlinks and thus are provided here.
