Leadership in a Nutshell

In today's episode of the Leadership in a Nutshell podcast, I want to talk to you guys about the most dangerous division, which is the "us and them" mentality. This is a concept that's really resonated with me since I wrote my original version of the Six Dimensions of Change and it really was a new perspective on how I feel about the dimensions of change. I believe that this mentality was so ingrained in me when I was growing up and I wanted to share the concept in a little different light today. Hopefully, this episode can help you in one way or another as we experience a lot of division in in the world right now.
