In today's episode of Monday Morning Moments, I share one of the 7 roles of a leader from our Invisible Hand of Leadership program: The Leader as Designer. This role is essential to your success as a leader but is not often the most visible role of a leader and often gets forgotten about and dismissed. A leader who recognizes the importance of design produces results both now and well into the future!
