AMA: Answering Your Leadership & Parenting Questions

Listen

Description

#23 - After releasing 20 episodes, we’ve gotten a lot of great questions from listeners. Today, in this dedicated Q&A, we’ve rounded up the top questions from leaders, employees, and parents. We talk about the importance of leading with curiosity, the myth that growing EQ makes you happy, how to be a better “team player,” if leaders should accept responsibility for failures, how to determine if a kid needs support or guidance, and much more.
