On Wednesday episodes, I share leadership beliefs and unlabel terminology. I invite guests to share their expertise about acts of leadership.
In Episode 59, Will Thalheimer discusses the role of feedback in leadership development. He explains how a company could operate without bosses, and he describes LTEM, his Learning-Transfer Evaluation Model. Will then explains the relationship between models and leadership.
