Move to the front of the pack in the marketplace as a result, and suddenly, you’re a visionary disrupting the market. As we watched companies respond to the challenges of 2020, we asked, “What makes for a good leader?”

We learned about a company’s new program that can help take some of the stress out of NPI. We also launched a new chapter in our “Just Ask” series, this time starring columnist Tara Dunn. And there was sad news that a contract manufacturer’s chairman had just passed away.
