Episode 14: The Importance of Strong Leadership
On todays episode Britton Wesson covers the importance of strong leadership. Strong leadership requires transparency, honesty, and vision casting. We don’t always have every answer, but sometimes simply providing a plan and making hard decisions is just what is needed to lead a team through times of uncertainty. Our thanks to Trey Rosenbaum of The Good Earth Garden Center for the question that prompted this episode. Also, thanks to Corie Barry of Best Buy for the inspiration and transparency in the video we talked about.

What does it mean for you or your organization to pick a fight? David Burkus joins the show today to talk about the impact of leaders picking the right fight. By doing so, they inspire their teams to fight alongside and make a difference. The most motivated and bonded teams know what they’re fighting for, but too many organizational leaders don’t know how to communicate that crusade. David shares some insight as to what this might look like and how to start the conversation with your teams.
