Description

Navigating the Leap from Large Corporation to Small Business.

In this episode, explore the transitional shift as a leader from big corporate to small businesses. Many small entrepreneurial businesses hire externally for executive roles, especially new positions that they add. This often means experienced candidates are coming from larger organizations, which means facing a sizable adjustment in culture and leadership style.
