Managing vs. Leading in a Coffee Shop (What Really Matters). In this Pulling Shots episode, Sam & Kailee break down the difference between management (hard skills: schedules, checklists, accountability) and leadership (soft skills: culture, communication, inspiration)—and how both drive a thriving café.
