Welcome to our January recap of ExecutiveEDGE, the EndeavorB2B newsletter that helps leaders make informed decisions by giving them a macro view of what’s essential and a micro focus on key takeaways and actionable steps.
Managing change was a recurring topic through our newsletters last month. We kicked things off with an in-depth look at return-to-office dynamics and what organizations are actually doing on the ground. From there, we looked at how the strategic expectations of leaders are changing—particularly due to real-time data and AI—as well as how executives can avoid feeling overwhelmed shortly after starting the year. After all, “You can do more with a rested brain than a tired one.”
The idea of balance featured prominently in the second half of the month. We took a look at how startups can avoid become one-trick ponies and provided clear ideas on how small-business owners can balance strategy and operations.
Elsewhere in our newsletters, you can find stories on the growing anxiety about AI among workers (powered by EBI research gathered from nearly 500 people), what will make for supply-chain success in a (hopefully) quieter 2026 and how Avnet is putting AI to work.
You can check out all that ExecutiveEDGE is about—and subscribe, of course—right here.
