Be proactive rather than reactive to market change. Reseed teams with new leaders and rotation. New blood and new ideas are keys to agility.

One of the attributes that I often recommend to the business professionals and entrepreneurs I mentor is to always be totally accountable for your actions and ideas. Be available for mentoring and coaching to others. Lack of accountability can permeate an entire organization. Document plans and progress, with checkpoints.
