Finally, this show will outline best practices in understanding our own deficiencies as leaders, a critical first step in the process of identifying and addressing mental issues at work, and offer ways to grow.
“Here’s something they won’t teach you in Business school: the single biggest decision you make in your job – bigger than all the rest–is who you name manager, When you name the wrong person manager nothing fixes that bad decision. Not compensation, not benefits – nothing.” - Gallup’s CEO Jim Clifton
