Podcasts about Delegation

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down at Thrive Live with Doug Fettig, CPA, MBA, and dental business advisor, for a deep and dynamic conversation on leadership, joy, and what it really means to run a successful dental practice. Doug brings energy and perspective to the challenges facing dentists today, from burnout and depression to poor delegation and leadership struggles.  They discuss why so many dentists are trapped in the “Eeyore” mindset, how to break free by embracing abundant thinking, and why hiring the right office manager can transform your business and your life. Doug explains why outsourcing everything but leadership and clinical work is essential, and how to avoid confusing abdication with effective delegation. If you've ever felt stuck in your practice or unsure of how to lead, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. Be sure to check out the full episode from the Dentalpreneur Podcast!

In dieser Podcastfolge erklärt Gabriele Trachsel, wie Führungskräfte das anspruchsvolle Planspiel im Assessment-Center souverän meistern können. Sie beschreibt typische Szenarien, gibt praxisnahe Tipps zur strategischen Vorbereitung und zeigt, worauf es bei Kommunikation, Delegation und Entscheidungsfähigkeit unter Zeitdruck ankommt. Wer strukturiert denkt, empathisch handelt und seine Führungsrolle aktiv ausfüllt, kann in dieser „Königsdisziplin“ überzeugen.

Building a strong team goes beyond simply hiring the right people. It requires a fundamental shift in how you engage with those who support your business. Many creative CEOs hire for relief, hoping to finally hand off tasks they don't enjoy or feel overwhelmed by. But this relief can quickly turn into frustration when team members aren't delivering the results you expected, or worse, when mistakes go unnoticed until they become costly problems.   In this episode, I'm sharing truth number five from the CEO Summer School series: true CEOs collaborate, they don't abdicate. This means recognizing that while you're bringing on team members to handle specific tasks and responsibilities, you remain a key ingredient in creating your business's success. Collaboration allows you to be the driver of your business while having others who understand where you're going and help you get there.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.desicreswell.com/146   For the resources mentioned in this episode, click here: https://www.desicreswell.com/resources

The most fatal words ever spoken by a leader are , “it will be faster if I do it myself”.  No it won't.  If you want to scare yourself, sit down and write down all the tasks that you face both regular and irregular.  That is one long, long list for leaders.  Are you really going to be able to get through all of these items and take care of filing your taxes on time, see the kids sports events, have a romantic dinner with your partner, lie on the couch and read a book, magazine or the newspapers?  In short, you won't, because you will be working all of the time, putting off life to earn a living.  The treadmill you should be the on is the one down at the gym, not the one where you are working like a dog, because you are trying to do it all yourself. Inherently, we know we should delegate, but we have had prior bad experiences with it and are now gun shy about using this important tool in our leader toolkit.  When I was growing up in Australia there was a common expression that “a good workman doesn't blame his tools”.  Delegation gets a bad rap because it is a misused tool and the tool itself is fine.  What we are mistaking is dumping for delegating.  What does dumping look like?  My old boss at Jones Lang LaSalle literally dumped two huge file collations on my desk, with a “whump”, they were so thick.  He just said “take care of this” and walked away.  I had to take on the work in those files, but there was no guidance, no instructions, I just had to work it by myself.  Is there a simple and better way to make sure that as the leader we are only working on the most high level tasks that only we can do? Here is an eight step process to make delegation work for you. Step One: Identify The Need Among the many tasks facing us, which ones will lend themselves to being delegated and what does a successful delegation outcome look like in our mind? Step Two: Select The Person This may sound counterintuitive, but select the person on the basis of how this delegated task will help them achieve their goals.  Wait a minute?  Isn‘t the delegation about me achieving my leader goals of getting work off my leader desk?  Actually no.  We are focused on using delegation to build leader bench strength in the organisation not playing “pass the parcel” at work.  Think about the team and identify which strengths need attention and how this piece of work will build this person's capabilities. Step Three: Plan The Delegation Meeting We don't plan to fail, but we fail to plan and this is one of the big missing pieces in the delegation puzzle.  Leaders will just willy-nilly grab the person and starting downloading what they want them to do, without thinking the conversation through in any meaningful way.  There are three sub-goals involved here. Desired outcome – what is the outcome to be accomplished and what does success look like? Think ahead to be able to explain what is in it for the person receiving the task. Current Situation – Clearly analyse where we are today both internally and externally. What factors may hinder or help this delegation? Goals – Define and set goals which are reasonable and yet challenging. Step Four: Hold The Delegation Meeting There are four subset goals. Identify their vision or goals. We are trying to align the task with their own goals so we need to be clear what is in it for them. Identify specific results to be achieved. We need to make success clear and also talk about the strengths they have which will allow them to succeed in this task. Outline the rules and limitations. There are bound to be resource limitations around time, money and people.  These need to be made clear from the start. Review the performance standards. To what level of sophistication are they required to deliver results? Step Five: Create A Plan Of Action We don't create the plan – they do.  This is important to  give them authority and ownership of how this task gets done. Step Six: Review Their Plan They create it but we must check it so that we are all on the same page and have a clear understanding of what happens next. Step Seven: Implement the Plan If there are other people going to be impacted by the plan then the leader's job is to clear the way and provide any needed air cover, while the task is under way. Step Eight: Follow Up Without micro managing the task, the leader needs regular progress updates so that everything is going as expected and there are no surprises at the end. None of these steps are diabolically difficult or complex.  Well then, why don't all leaders follow them?  It could be because they haven't thought about a process for delegation or they fear the time required for Steps Three and Four. Stop procrastinating.  These two steps, Three and Four, are not that big a time steal, so suck it up and get going.  You will never have the time available which you need, unless you start seeing delegation as a tool to develop the talents of your subordinates and treat the whole process that way.  Delegation is just Latin for coaching!

It's the ability to stay consistent, keep showing up every day, and push through the tough times that truly tests a business owner's resilience. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Suzanna Chaplin's favorite business books that have helped her the most include “Winners” by Alastair Campbell for its insight into what makes successful people tick, and “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey, which she values for its lessons on communication and understanding people's core motivations. She also mentioned “Good to Great” by Jim Collins and books by Adam Grant as powerful resources that have shaped her business thinking. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Suzanna Chaplin recommends several powerful podcasts and online resources to help grow a small business, including How I Built This by Guy Raz for inspiring founder stories, Diary of a CEO for raw and insightful conversations (especially earlier episodes), and Sweat Equity by the founders of Hype for practical branding tips. She also suggests Founders for deep dives into entrepreneurial mindsets and The Spark by Emma Grede for valuable perspectives from a female founder's lens.

Let's get real, you're not going to build a million-dollar business while spending your time on $10/hour tasks.  In this no-fluff, heart-to-heart episode, Danielle breaks down the true cost of doing it all yourself, especially the low-value to-dos that keep you “busy” but not profitable, and shares the action steps you need to buy back your time, start delegating, and finally lead your business like the CEO you are. Key Takeaways:  You Can't Scale Doing Everything Yourself: Low-value tasks might feel productive, but they're keeping you stuck and small. You need to step out of the weeds to grow.  CEO Work is Strategic, Not Busywork: Your most valuable contributions come from visioning, leading, analyzing financials, and making key decisions, not juggling a constant stream of admin tasks.  Delegation Isn't a Luxury—It's a Business Strategy: Even if you start small, outsourcing or automating frees up hours you can reinvest in revenue-generating work.  Knowing Your Numbers Helps You Hire Confidently: Understanding your financials lets you forecast, set targets, and build a team even on a smaller budget.  Done is Better Than Perfect: Let go of the belief that no one else can do it like you. Delegation is a skill, and progress beats perfection every time.  Topics Discussed: (00:30 – 01:22) Why $10/Hour Tasks are Holding You Back from Building a Million-Dollar Business (01:27 – 02:38) What Real CEO Work Looks Like (and What It Doesn't) (02:41 – 03:20) The Actual Cost of Doing Everything Yourself in Time and Revenue (03:21 – 05:31) Small, Realistic Ways to Start Delegating Right Away  (05:32 – 07:05) Your Role as a CEO and How to Use Your Numbers Strategically   Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://www.kickstartaccountinginc.com/book    Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc

As an accomplished author and international speaker, Terri has dedicated over two decades to elevating businesses in the aesthetic field with a ground-up approach focused on sustainability, profitability, and scalability. Her experience is rooted in working with Fortune 500 companies like Medicis and Zeltique, where she developed a deep understanding of market dynamics and strategic sales methodologies. Episode Summary: In this eye-opening episode of "In Touch with Terri," Terri Ross delves deep into the regulatory challenges and safety concerns facing the medical aesthetics industry, particularly med spas. Following a revelatory segment by John Oliver, Terri is prompted to address the misconceptions and dangers lurking in unregulated med spa operations which often mask as credible medical establishments. With nearly two decades of experience, she advocates for higher industry standards to safeguard consumer safety and elevate trust in the aesthetic market. Through her detailed analysis, Terri Ross calls for an evolution in the way medical spas are regulated and perceived. She emphasizes the necessity for stringent regulations, accreditation, and transparency to ensure client safety and ethical operational standards. Highlighting the burgeoning growth of pop-ups and alternative aesthetic models, this episode examines their implications on consumer trust and provider accountability, urging industry leaders to proactively set higher benchmarks for safety and service excellence. Key Takeaways: The term "med spa" often gives a misleading impression of uniform medical oversight, highlighting the need for industry regulations. Aesthetic treatments are not synonymous with aesthetic expertise; marketing must reflect genuine clinical knowledge and safety. Clear definitions and regulatory oversight could prevent the ethical providers from being unfairly categorized alongside unsafe or unscrupulous practitioners. Emergency preparedness and ongoing safety drills are crucial in protecting patients, brands, and the industry at large. Regulation should be viewed as an opportunity to elevate industry standards rather than a threat to business operations. Notable Quotes: "Med spa is an unregulated term, leading consumers to falsely believe all facilities are under medical supervision." "Delegation without oversight is just exposure. Who's performing the treatments, and can they legally do it?" "Waiting for regulations to hit your doorstep means you're already behind." "The business of aesthetics is serious. If you want to play, you got to play big, smart, fast."

Bundespräsidentin Karin Keller-Sutter und Wirtschaftsminister Guy Parmelin haben sich am Dienstag auf den Weg in die USA gemacht. Sie wollen versuchen, die hohen Zölle gegen die Schweiz doch noch abzuwenden. Ob es zu einem direkten Kontakt mit Präsident Trump kommt, ist aber noch unklar. Weitere Themen: Noch während der Bundesrat nach Washington reist, hat Donald Trump offensichtlich erneut den Druck auf die Schweiz erhöht – und Zölle von bis zu 250 Prozent an die Adresse der Pharmaindustrie angedroht. Ob diese bei den Verhandlungen mit der Schweiz bereits ein Thema ist, ist offen. Vor vier Jahren kam die Einführung der E-ID, dem elektronischen Identitätsnachweis, an die Urne. Damals wurde die Vorlage vom Stimmvolk wegen Kritik am Datenschutz wuchtig verworfen. Nun nimmt die E-ID am 28. September einen neuen Anlauf. Bei den Kongresswahlen im November 2026 könnten die US-Demokraten die Kontrolle in der grossen Parlamentskammer zurückerobern. Nun wollen die Republikaner vorsorgen und sich mit einer neuen Wahlkarte im Bundesstaat Texas bessere Bedingungen verschaffen. Wie soll das gehen?

Episode Summary: Welcome back to Construct Your Life! Today, I sit down with Bodhi Gallo, a marketing savant and successful business owner who has navigated buying, scaling, and selling businesses in the service industry. Bodhi shares his journey from corporate America to building a dumpster rental empire, highlighting the importance of smart marketing, hiring the right team, and understanding your numbers. He emphasizes that marketing isn't just about leads — it's about creating long-term value, building relationships, and executing a sales game that wins in competitive markets. Bodhi's no-nonsense approach is all about playing offense, staying consistent, and leveraging every opportunity to grow sustainably and profitably.Key Highlights: - Buying vs. Starting From Scratch: Bodhi shares why he prefers buying established businesses and how to find companies with recurring revenue and untapped potential, instead of starting from zero.- Delegation & Simple Models: Why dumpster businesses are easier to delegate, scale, and manage, especially compared to more complex trades like HVAC or roofing. Bodhi emphasizes mastering operations and keeping core functions straightforward.- Marketing as a Long-Term Play: The truth about brand building and lead generation — it's not a short-term game. Bodhi points out that smart branding campaigns (like memorable billboards) generate ongoing ROI and authentic referrals.- The Power of Word-of-Mouth & Ripple Effects: Why initial marketing spend might seem high, but the long-term returns from satisfied customers and referrals are the real winners.- Know Your Numbers & Be Offense: Bodhi stresses the importance of tracking every lead, understanding your profitability, and staying aggressive — especially during off-peak seasons.- Marketing Transparency & Client Communication: How building trust with clear communication, regular updates, and honest expectations differentiate great marketing firms from the fake ones.- Building a Profitable B2B Reed: Bodhi highlights the advantages of being a dependable contractor in B2B spaces, freeing you from constant lead chasing and creating stable, long-term relationships.Final Tips:If you're serious about growth, buy businesses with existing customers and recurring revenue — don't just start from scratch. Focus on mastery of marketing and sales, don't be afraid to invest in branding for the long haul, and always play offense. Stay consistent, track your metrics, and leverage every marketing dollar for maximum ROI. Remember, building a business is about smart delegation, long-term relationship building, and relentless focus on what moves the needle.If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend and keep building your empire!

What if the future of work isn't just about where we work, but how we think about work itself? In this episode, Kevin is joined by Steve Cadigan to explore the shifts reshaping our workplaces, what Steve calls a “work quake.” Steve shares insights on how leaders and employees can adapt to a rapidly changing world of work. They discuss why lifelong learning and "learning agility" are no longer optional, and how our ability to learn quickly is becoming more valuable than what we already know. Steve also challenges leaders to rethink traditional talent strategies, including embracing higher turnover, building organizational capacity more rapidly, and treating employees as part of a lifelong talent ecosystem.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with the legendary NFL coach and Hall of Famer, Dick Vermeil—a Super Bowl champion, Rose Bowl champion, and one of the most respected leaders in football history. Known for orchestrating one of the greatest turnarounds in NFL history with the St. Louis Rams, Coach Vermeil shares the leadership principles that drove his career—from the gridiron to the vineyards of Vermeil Wines.This episode dives deep into the human side of leadership: how to build authentic trust, lead with empathy while demanding excellence, and foster strong cultures even during losing seasons. Coach reflects on inviting players into his home, balancing tough decisions with personal care, and the power of connection in high-stakes environments. He also explores delegation, hiring with integrity, and adapting leadership in a remote, modern world.Whether you're leading a sports team or scaling a startup, Coach Vermeil's timeless lessons on character, consistency, and heart will leave you rethinking what it means to lead well. Bonus: Don't miss the story of how he transitioned from football to winemaking—and what it taught him about purpose after peak success.TakeawaysTrust is built through consistent, authentic care—not performance alone.Bringing team members into your personal life can strengthen professional commitment.Great leadership requires balancing high expectations with emotional intelligence.Delegation is essential for growth—you can't scale by doing everything yourself.Culture is most important when you're losing, not just when you're winning.Business leaders should look beyond resumes to truly assess character and capability.Leadership isn't just innate—it can be taught if someone has the desire to grow.Making tough personnel decisions is part of protecting the team's greater mission.Even after retiring from football, purpose and service can evolve into new ventures.The best leaders continue learning, growing, and leading with integrity.Legacy is measured by the impact you have on others—often decades later.Chapters00:00 Welcome & Coach Vermeil's Legendary Career02:45 Building Trust Through Authentic Care05:30 Balancing Tough Love and Compassion07:20 Handling Players Who Don't Step Up10:30 Inviting Players Into His Home14:00 Why Relationships Deepen Commitment17:15 Delegation and Scaling Leadership20:15 Hiring, Referencing & Truth in Interviews24:45 Leading in a Remote World25:50 Is Leadership Innate or Teachable?28:35 Keeping Culture Strong During Losing Seasons33:00 From Gridiron to Vineyard: The Vermeil Wines Story41:00 The Hard Truth Leaders Must Hear46:00 Making Difficult Cuts with Compassion49:00 Coach's Favorite Book & Final Wisdom51:00 Closing Remarks & Toast to LeadershipResources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

I think I've also been a frustrated musical artist of some kind: I wanted to engineer and produce and have trained on various DAWs. My musicianship has been limited though - I can't really sing and I'm a rudimentary keyboard player - but I can write and originally trained as a journalist after leaving school.  So I've been putting whatever writing skills I may possess to the test by writing lyrics and using them as prompts for AI music with some fascinating results. In fact I've spent the past month or so working on songs. At the time of writing I have an album of material completed, with the first track - a single - scheduled for release on 29th August on all the major platforms including Spotify and Apple Music. Another single is scheduled to come out about a month later with the album pencilled for release on Friday 10th October. One of the surprises for me was the style of music I've ended up creating - not my usual dance music at all. The album does contain tracks that will get you moving or set your toes tapping, but there's an equal number of singer/songwriter tracks that I hope are more contemplative. The whole song writing process was incredibly cathartic, in fact I'd go so far as to say, it was like therapy.  I don't have my artist page live on Spotify yet, but as soon as it is, and there's a pre-release link, I will include it here. It's a scary thing sharing in song all your previously private thoughts and experiences, so please don't be too harsh on me. And as importantly, why not have a go yourself.  I hope you enjoy it. Thank you. XX F*

Chris TorresDirectorThe Marketing Coach & TourprenuerI started at 16 illustrating children's books and never looked back.After that, I spent years learning on the job—working in design studios and marketing agencies as an art-worker, designer, web developer, and eventually a marketing strategist.I didn't go to university. Truth is, I hated school. I was told I'd never amount to much. That doubt didn't discourage me—it fuelled me. I've spent my whole career proving people wrong, building a path on grit, self-teaching, and real-world results.In 2008, I launched a marketing agency from scratch and built it into a global force, working with travel brands and service-based businesses in over 50+ countries. The Tourism Marketing Agency still thrives today.A huge middle finger to all those teachers that did not believe in me.Along the way, I've helped launch products, crack new markets, and grow small, local businesses into major players. My approach blends storytelling with data, creativity with clarity—making sure your marketing connects emotionally and converts commercially.You won't get recycled “funnel hacks” or empty jargon here. What I offer is real-world strategy that delivers. That's how we helped Gray Line Iceland generate €2M+ in direct bookings. Overland Ireland? Another €2M and a 6000% ROI. And in the wilds of Alaska, a remote operator saw a 463% sales increase year-on-year using the same methods.My deep sector knowledge, especially in travel and tourism, comes from nearly two decades of hands-on work. Tour operators, DMCs, travel tech firms, hotels—I've helped them all refine their messaging, attract the right customers, and grow sustainably.I'm also part-owner of Tourpreneur, the global community of nearly 20,000 tour operators. I contribute regularly to the podcast and help lead the charge on educational content, mentorship, and strategy guidance for operators looking to level up. Whether it's through speaking, writing, or behind-the-scenes coaching, my goal is always to help people in this industry thrive.I also wrote the book How to Turn Your Online Lookers into Bookers, with a follow-up now published: Lookers into Bookers: The Tourism Marketing Blueprint. I speak at tourism events worldwide, running practical workshops that give attendees tools they can use the next day.summaryIn this episode, Jason Elkins interviews Chris Torres, a marketing coach specializing in the tourism industry. They discuss the importance of direct bookings for tour operators, the journey of Chris from art to marketing, and the significance of storytelling in tourism. Chris shares insights on building trust through personal connections, the role of video content, and the impact of reviews and social proof.

Episode 300 – A Milestone Celebration

Es war kein Deal, es war ein Akt der Verzweiflung. Donald Trump hat sich mit der EU auf neue Zölle geeinigt. Warum Europa einknickte, was die deutsche Wirtschaft und vor allem die Autobauer jetzt fürchten – und warum selbst US-Verbraucher diesen „Deal“ teuer bezahlen. Über das Handelsgeschick der europäischen Delegation und die Konsequenzen des Abkommens sprechen Antonia Beckermann und Wim Orth mit Brüssel-Korrespondent Stefan Beutelsbacher. Außerdem ordnet Außenpolitik-Redakteurin Lara Jäkel Trumps Probleme mit dem Paramount-Konzern ein, die sich sukzessive zu einem handfesten Konflikt mit Hollywood entwickeln. Redaktion: Antonia Beckermann, Wim Orth Produktion: Serdar Deniz US-Korrespondentin Stefanie Bolzen ordnet jede Woche im Gespräch mit den WELT-Redakteuren Antonia Beckermann und Wim Orth die aktuellen Nachrichten aus den USA ein – mal aus Washington, mal aus Florida oder den Flyover-States.

We've been liberating owners from chaos for a little over 10 years now at the time of this recording. When you look back at the history or sort of the anthology of what we've seen built in these tools in the Business On Purpose Operating System, we've realized that one of the core tools is something that we call the Master Process Roadmap. If you look at it, there's a core question that many owners ask, and that is, “What happens to the business if something happens to me?” Well, if you've got your Master Process Roadmap in place, then you've got something that the business can continue to operate on long after you're doing something else. And that's not necessarily the goal—but if something does happen, then you've got things in place. Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose. Super excited to walk you through this core tool in the BOP methodology and the Business On Purpose Operating System. You can go check us out at businessonpurpose.com. So how do we streamline the operations to boost efficiency, increase employee satisfaction, and also give us confidence in how the business is going to operate? I want to tell you a story about some dear friends of ours—clients of ours as well—American Paving Design. They offer an excellent example of how to go after process clarity through their commitment to the Master Process Roadmap. Having this single-page document—and when I say a single-page document, I'm talking about an electronic version, of course—is paramount for successfully organizing your business. It holds all of the processes required for delivering your product or your service, but all on one sheet of paper. APD's approach involved a comprehensive brain dump exercise. We sat down and categorized the processes into the four core systems: marketing, sales, operations, and administration. That initial step allowed them to identify all their procedural names. They didn't dive into how each individual process works—they just named the processes. And even in that, it was sort of a cathartic experience to get these things out of their head. They felt good just seeing them on a document. Over the course of a couple of years, they began to systematically walk and document 300 processes, creating a very robust operational framework. What's particularly noteworthy about American Paving Design's approach is its use of video documentation. By leveraging screen capture technology or even just an iPhone, they've created visual guides for a wide range of tasks. This method is especially effective because it allows for clear, step-by-step demonstrations that might be difficult to explain if they were just written down. It catches some of the nuance. The benefits of such extensive documentation are significant. Team members—whether out in the field or in the office—can easily access these guides or process documents whenever they need to. It's a self-service methodology that reduces the need for constant questions and interruptions. For instance, instead of asking Nicole how to run payroll every time, an employee can just watch the relevant video guide. And Tim, the owner, has confidence that it's being done right. The system saves time and empowers employees. To me, that's one of the biggest features of this—the ability to empower someone else. Delegation is an incredible opportunity to show compassion, empathy, and trust in other people. When we have these documentation systems in place, we empower others to find solutions independently. Not only do they have a running start because of the process, but they can also innovate on a process that's already been done. When they have confidence in knowing what to do, it reduces the reliance on key personnel for routine tasks and frees them up to focus on more strategic work. It ensures consistency in how tasks are performed across the organization, leading to higher-quality output and fewer errors. By investing in process documentation, American Paving Design has created a valuable resource that supports ongoing training. It helps new employees get up to speed quickly and serves as a reference for all team members. That form of knowledge management can significantly improve operational efficiency and employee satisfaction as staff feel far more confident and capable in their roles. You're giving them courage—you're literally sharing courage—when you share these processes with them. While creating such an extensive library can take time and effort, the long-term benefits in terms of efficiency, consistency, and employee empowerment make it a worthwhile investment. Just follow the systems mindset. You don't have to lock yourself away in a library for a week to do this. All you need to do is sit down, and for the next thing you do—document it. Capture it like it's the last time you'll ever do it. That's what we call the systems mindset: the next task you do, video it, document it, record it like it's the last time you'll ever do it.

What if the missing link to scaling your business isn't strategy or hustle—but buy-in?In today's episode, I sat down with Dave Garrison—Harvard MBA, former CEO, leadership strategist, and author of The Buy-In Advantage.
