Evolving Your Workplace

"Who are you leaving a legacy for?" Don Monistere asked 100 executives. Many women said for their families and many men said for everyone. In this episode, Don tells us why this question matters.

He currently heads General Informatics, an Information Technology Managed Service Provider, aka a tech solutions company.

Don studied management and then wanted to learn about a new technology at the time, a "personal computer." That opened the door for him to work in IT and eventually run his own company.

When he later took on the role of CEO at General Informatics, he worked to change the mindset of staff and redirect it towards growth, he says.

Carol and Don speak about information technology, obstacles in the space, risk tolerance, the value of your data, and aligning your team. They also delve into personal development and following your calling.
