Quote:

“Keep the team spirit going right the way through your people. So don't diversify and don't get lazy because you think we're all sitting at home, everyone's working from home. Make sure your team are all continuously bought into your vision and their own vision, and you keep in constant contact with everyone to be a success through these times.” - Jordan Lawrence
