Change can be scary. But it can also be invigorating and an opportunity for growth. Let’s face it, there’s lots of change happening around us — and plenty of it is happening at the top of a well-established and well-earned power structure. We look at what it means to be a leader right now, where the change is happening and what tools we can offer the leaders of tomorrow.

Faces of Change

Take a look at some of the recent and soon-to-be changes in leadership throughout Northeast Ohio.

Leading Through Time

Leaders shape change. Here are 10 who have impacted the region throughout its history.
