Randall's promises and delivering Gives himself an A+
If I was grading T’s management team and the entire staff, they would get an A+ for 2019. It’s a team effort, and management can lay out the best plan possible, but if the rest of the company can’t deliver, what good is it? The entire staff at T... — read more
