It’s always a bit strange and [...]

Every successful individual I know….

…includes other people. My leader and I recently had a conversation that led me to think about this. He employs these practices very intentionally. If you are worthy of leading… If you have a passion…. If you have a vision…. It will all be worth nothing if you don’t include others. Ways to include others: [...]
