Leave Your Team Better Than You Found Them

EP.723

Lori and I received an amazing text the other day from a former employee and it just confirms for us that next-level leadership is about leaving the people that work for you better than you found them. 

We’ve gone through ups and downs when it comes to hiring and managing employees, but those lessons have helped us get really clear on how to build a supportive, growth-oriented team. Join us on this episode as we reflect on how to set yourself apart as a brand leader and employer.
