Carrie Meo is a CEO of 2 businesses and a VP of another. At first glance you’d think her businesses wouldn’t have any similarities, but they actually do.  Her leadership spans across a legacy car dealership with 13 locations, to a lovely day spa, to property development in the Bangor, Maine area.  In this episode, Carrie shares how she’s been able to lead her teams through the many pandemic challenges they’ve faced and how leaning into drumbeats, 5 R Workplans, and Slack has helped.  You’ll also hear how she maintains a full calendar that includes advisor obligations to her local community.
