Learn what business acumen is and how to build business acumen in order to be recognized and valued in an organization.
Robert Brondo states, Over the past few years, the need for business acumen skills as a standalone competency has become a critical focus of most CEOs. Yet, some studies show that 90% of professionals don't understand the key components that are important to CEOs and the overall success of the company. This topic will explain what business acumen is, why it is important for employees at all levels, and some things one can do to build business acumen in order to be recognized, valued, and respected within an organization, while also being instrumental in that organization's success.
