“Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower

In today’s episode of the Montgomery Companies Pocast, we are blessed to sit down with Ken “Collaboration” Coleman – best-selling author, host of the Ramsey Show, leadership guru, and connoisseur of full-length body pillows.

Join us as we discuss leadership strategies, and why the best leaders pull their followers, rather than push them. We dive into the biggest challenges facing leaders today, and explore the fact that many employees are not leaving companies, they are leaving leaders. Ken explains the three basic human needs that must be met by a leader in the workplace, and how to take care of the people you have, so that you never have to worry about the people you need. For those who are not in a position of leadership within their workplace yet, we expand on the importance of being a good follower, and how to hone your observation skills so that you can, with careful dedication to detail, build your own leadership style for when the time comes. Learn the two questions you must ask your employees in order to gain trust, and the formula for leading with perfect courage and clarity, through even the toughest days.
