On August 13th, I posted an article about the emerging mpox virus 🦠, highlighting the potential risks it poses and how it could evolve into a new pandemic. My goal was simple: to warn business owners and guide them on proactive strategies, including digital transformation 💻, to safeguard their operations in the face of uncertainty. Interestingly, after posting, I faced some backlash. A few individuals on LinkedIn labeled me as an alarmist 🚨, accusing me of spreading fear. But let me ask you this—what would you rather do? Ignore the warning signs and react only when it's too late 🕒, or take action now and prepare for any potential crisis before it hits? I hold no grudge against those who criticized me. I get it—it's human nature to resist unsettling news and ideas that challenge our comfort zones. But as leaders, we must confront these challenges head-on, even if it means facing uncomfortable truths. Your thoughts? 🤔 #mpox #pandamic
