Great leaders know to surround themselves with people who complement their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses. And one of the most effective ways to do this is by finding someone you can trust who has a different appetite for risk than you do. In this episode, Degan Construction Owner Denver Whetten talks with Path for Growth’s Matt Aiken about leading with a high risk appetite, finding an integrator to help him manage risk more effectively, and building a relationship based on trust. He also shares practical tips for handling misalignment when it arises.

Denver Whetten, owner of Degan Construction, is hosting and sponsoring Path for Growth’s event in Phoenix, AZ on Friday, July 31.
