There Should be an “I” in Team! – Episode 18

As they say, “there is no “I” in team, but our guest today would argue…but should there be?

When you are a leader of any organization, it must start with you. Strong team players come from living authentically as individuals. The I and the team are interconnected and one cannot exceed without the other.

We walked away with so many great nuggets of information and hope you do too! Be sure to grab a pen and paper for this one!
