Leading is Serving

Chris and Jason review the frustrations we feel in business and talk about how all of those frustrations at the end of the day reveal weaknesses in leadership that we should be paying attention to. We’re pretty sure that every problem is somehow rooted in leadership. We don’t need more leaders, we need more great leaders who are willing to navigate these issues.

This week, Jason shares with Chris about his experience with The Working Genius from Pat Lencioni. We talk about our tendencies as leaders in how we like to work and get things done. It’s easy to get frustrated at others on the team when they don’t see things the same way as us. But the Working Genius helps us understand others on our team better so we can streamline and be more effective together. You can find the book at your favorite retailer or jump into their wonderful podcast over at https://www.workinggenius.com/resources#podcasts.

Jason & Chris take on a listener questions from YouTube this week. "What are signs that you're missing a piece to your business?” This made us immediately think about tracing our frustrations to a part of our business that is missing or lacking.
