The De Hicks Podcast

Dr. De talks about some great bourbon from Florida, a good cigar from Nicaragua, and starts this series talking about the Great Mental Models that Make Great Leaders.  This episode is all about Einstein's Theory of Relativity applied to you as a Leader, Manager, or Supervisor.  It's more fun that it sounds.  

Dr. De reviews King's Creek 9 year old Sour Mash Whiskey and talks about the hidden and high costs of having poor performers on your team and what to do about it.  Whiskey and cigar review ends at about 11 minutes, in case you aren't interested in the finer things in life.
