Take The Power Back - Episode #9

Most people think career success comes down to how much effort you put in, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. In the end, corporate America will never reward your hard work.

In this episode of Take The Power Back, I sat down with Mike Vietri, Chief Distribution Officer at Amerilife, to break down what it actually takes to succeed as a leader inside large organizations, and why so many high performers somehow end up fumbling their careers.
