Flexibility and adaptability are key! I've also learned that there's no such thing as "too much communication." Be as transparent as possible with your staff - they will appreciate it!

^ As a retail employee, I can't tell you how much I value a transparent manager! It really helps build trust among the team.

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.
