When it comes to creating safety for vulnerability and trust on a team, as a leader, you have to go first. You have to open the door and set the tone, so others see that it's safe to follow. 

In my conversation with Chris Hartley, VP Of Sales at K. Hovnanian Homes and author of the upcoming children's book series "Life Lessons with Daddy," we discuss Chris's philosophy for leadership and for bringing out the best in his teams: leading with love. 

We talk about empathy, vulnerability, having hard conversations, and empowering teams to rise to their full potential.
