Your individual leadership journey
When you want to know more about any business topic, any leadership skill or how to fix a leaky faucet, you probably go to Youtube like I do.Then, when you are required to watch a 2 hour lecture brought to you by your favorite Vistage Chair or your company, you may feel a little dread. […]
