Have you had a mentor help you discover what it takes to be an effective leader? Receiving the right guidance is foundational to creating a positive culture where employees thrive. Leadership starts with trust. On the one hand, it takes you trusting your team to do what they’re called upon to do to deliver exceptional results. On the other hand, it takes your team trusting you to take them on a path that leads to advancement in their careers.

This is one of the biggest things that Mylene Barizo shares in this episode. Before focusing on her consulting work at Leadership Ladder, she had an arc of a career, with experiences ranging from sales and customer service to human resources and management at large corporations including Enterprise and Boeing.
