We sit down with Kat Cole, one of the best leaders in the business, to discuss how to effectively manage your team and handle the firing process. Kat shares with us the incredible leadership lessons that she has learned throughout her meteoric rise. After starting as a hostess at Hooter's at the age of 15, she decided to drop out of college when she was given the opportunity to open up Hooter's franchises all over the world. She quickly became one of the companies most trusted employees at the age of 19 and was promoted to VP at the age of 26. Kat now serves as the President & COO of Focus Brands, the multi-billion dollar company behind Jamba Juice, Cinnabon, Auntie Anne's and many more of your favorite brands and holds the rare distinction of having an MBA without having a bachelors degree.
