Jeffrey Mosher welcomes Dave Heisey back to the MBN studios to discuss another Crestcom module.

For October they were discussing business acumen.

Crestcom defines business acumen as “The ability to understand how your business operates and makes money, and to proactively anticipate, navigate and leverage trends impacting your business”. Now certainly, we’d expect the President, CEO or Owner of an organization to have business acumen - if they don’t, the organization is probably in trouble. But how powerful would it be to have an entire team of leaders, and an entire workforce, that contributes to an organizations thinking when it comes to business acumen.
