Edge: Turning Adversity into Advantage

By: Laura Huang
  • Format:Print
ShareBar

Abstract

Having an edge is about gaining an advantage, but it goes beyond just advantage. It's about recognizing that others will have their own perceptions about us, right or wrong. When you recognize the power in those perceptions and flip them in your favor, you create an edge—and your hard work works harder for you.
