Who has time for reflection in today's economy?  Isn't the best mode of working these days to put your head down and don't look up until the work's done?  Who has time to worry about that stuff like values, your personal why and getting to know the people on your teams?

Well, our guest today, Brent Pohlman is living proof that putting time and  energy into knowing your why, defining core values, and putting people first does not slow a business down.  As CEO of Midwest Laboratories he's seen his company grow from 120 to 274 employees and they've set total revenue records every year for the last four years.

 He's recently chronicled his journey to transforming himself and his company in the book Leaders Look Within.

So that you don't have to wait until your fifties, like he said he did, to unlock your leadership potential and achieve the resulting positive business impact, he came on to share some practical tips with you.  

In this conversation, we talk about:

• Moving from reactive to relational leadership
• How commitment to continual personal growth serves as an investment in molding formidable leadership
• How to construct cohesive, value-based teams wired with trust
