The Key to Leadership: A Discussion with Dr. Joe Sanfelippo Part 2

If you're leading a team or a company, you have to get good at storytelling! It's your golden ticket to connect with everyone, from the interns to the big bosses. Think about it - if you're not spinning your own yarn, folks will make up tales about you. So, why not grab the reins and showcase the real, authentic you and what your organization is all about? Start crafting your narrative by connecting with your team and discovering what emotion and story you want to share with the public and your team.

The conversation with Joe Sanfelippo was too good to fit into one episode!
