The uncomfortable reality no business school will tell you is that the most dangerous leader in any room is the one who avoids hard conversations and calls it being nice.\nAudra Palakodety, COO at APOORVA Corporation, has built her leadership philosophy across one of the most diverse career paths in the industry spanning tourism, entertainment, energy, and custom software development across multinational teams.
