As a leader, you know you need to make wise and efficient financial decisions. But you can also make a real impact in other peoples’ lives by helping them learn to be smarter with their own hard-earned money.

In this episode, we’ll help you better understand investing and building wealth, so you and your team can live your fullest lives. This information is so important for a well-rounded leader.

Fun fact: The average millionaire in the U.S. spends 8 hours a month analyzing their net worth, bank statements, assets and liabilities, etc. Financial literacy is absolutely worth the effort.

Take the First Step:

I highly recommend a Profit & Loss Statement and a Pro Forma sheet as the first steps toward financial literacy. If you’re interested in one or both of these tools, send me an email at [email protected] and we’ll get you a copy.

Leadership is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Your specific style of motivation and guidance should be adaptable, depending on your team’s immediate needs and situation. 

In this episode, we’re reviewing the five most common leadership styles and the pros/cons of each. While you’ll naturally fall into one of these categories, we’ll share ideas for how to capitalize on the strengths of each technique, so you can customize your most effective approach to any scenario. 

In any organization, in any industry, the most important role of a leader boils down to these three things: Finding, attracting and retaining top talent. Everything else is secondary.

In today’s Flash Cast, we’re talking about why these priorities are so critical to your organization’s growth, and how you can succeed through your top performers.
