In this episode of 10-Minute Masterclass, Trey Sheneman shares the most impactful leadership lesson he learned while working under Dave Ramsey at Ramsey Solutions.

- Relatable – People follow people, not titles. Build real relationships.
- Unwavering – Be bold and consistent, especially under pressure.
- Skillful – Lead with competence, not just vision.
- Tactful – Deliver feedback with kindness and clarity. Praise publicly, correct privately.
