History plays an important role in helping leaders understand what and why something happened . . . or didn’t. Leaders face the daily challenge of balancing time to reflect on lessons learned from the past while keeping up with the constant change around them, as well as making decisions in a timely manner.
Leaders who take the time to uncover the history related to what they are doing now get new perspectives. They also learn to respect those who have come before them, their failures and successes.
