It’s not a secret, people and their issues are a huge part of any leader’s life. It can be the best and worst part about being a leader. 

The good news is today’s episode is full of simple, actionable frameworks around developing and leading people. We talk about how to hire, how to fire, how to develop and why people are such a big issue in the first place.
