Beverly Hills , Aug. 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- It's difficult to sum up the huge economic and social impact of a Global pandemic. When it comes to business, the word "adapt" is used often--but what does it really mean to change in order to survive?
Adam Torres, author, speaker, and podcaster, has aptly dubbed 2020 "The Year of the Pivot." When faced with pandemic-related challenges, businesses across the Globe showed incredible flexibility and innovation. Read their stories and more in Torres' newest book, Mission Matters: World’s Leading Entrepreneurs Reveal Their Top Tips to Success (Business Leaders Vol. 5).

Listen to Adam’s popular podcast Mission Matters at MissionMatters.com.
The fifth edition of Mission Matters: World’s Leading Entrepreneurs Reveal Their Top Tips to Success (Business Leaders Vol. 5) features the stories of 18 diverse business leaders. In the introduction, Torres shares stories that range from a kid finding new demand for his painted rocks on social media to the importance of becoming a mission-driven organization, a common thread, according to Torres, is perseverance. Instead of giving up in the face of adversity, these leaders took initiative. For example, Torres writes, "One manufacturing shop in Chicago went from producing displays for tradeshows to making hundreds of thousands of face shields for our frontline workers."
Though Torres champions the (sometimes unexpected) success of business leaders like the developers of a secure online meeting platform that became essential during the pandemic, he also acknowledges the difficulty and loss companies have endured. Some of the stories told in this book are about failure and struggle-- tough-to-avoid truths of business that readers can learn from.
