When you lose perspective, you lose your team. This common mistake decreases morale and increases turnover. The long-term results can be catastrophic.

There’s a real art to pushing your team without going too far and many leaders never learn how to strike the balance. Yes, achieving their goals is important, but if they burn out, along with damaged health and a broken family life then you’re not really winning!

I host HP President of Federal and Head of US Public Sector, Todd Gustafson, who shares why great leaders keep perspective on life and work, and you should too! He tells the powerful story of how he learned this from his father, and you’ll never forget it.

Every leader needs perspective in life and this episode delivers!
