High-performing leaders and organizations constantly look for ways to improve their strategies, their workplace, and their people. They never stop moving forward and always figure out ways to grow. Sometimes, this means bringing someone from the outside world into your company and letting them share their experience.
Our guest today, Greg, is an expert at helping others find the blind spots in their companies and take action on changing and improving their culture. He shares with us golden nuggets, throughout the entire episode, that apply not only in the professional life but also in everyone’s personal life.
