worried about top-line growth, customer experience, and employee wellness. Looking out over a longer horizon of 3 \u2013 5 years, CEO worries will shift, in priority order, to human capital, execution, market uncertainty and access to capital. Lessons learned from the pandemic in terms of the need for people and leadership, more customer-focused execution and more flexible supply chain management have been taken to heart. Market demand and the impacts of uncertain domestic regulation and foreign competition point to the uncertainties that CEO\u2019s and executive leadership will need to navigate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

robust \u201comni-channel\u201d experience going forward will require middle-market businesses develop an even stronger set of internal and customer-facing capabilities to satisfy their customers.<\/p><p>Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, CEOs and business owners must improve their focus on the leadership and human capital dimension of their business.\u00a0 The future middle-market winners will be the companies that develop a highly-engaged and agile workforce, enabling them to compete successfully in the battle for clients and talent.\u00a0 The past 15 months has demonstrated more than ever that leaders who are capable and prepared to lean into change will reap outsized rewards for themselves and their businesses.<\/p><p>As we all continue to navigate through
