In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Tim Lupinacci discuss:

• Time management and prioritization. 
• Testing out leadership in smaller groups first. 
• Learning from others to strengthen your leadership skills. 
• Utilizing daily disciplines to support your leadership and your team. 

Key Takeaways:

• Get together and pour into people and allow them to pour into you. You’ll build relationships and strengthen all team members. 
• Seeing people in action will allow you to get to know them and see their strengths and personalities. 
• Building your team, and trusting them, will allow you to transition out of the day-to-day work as you release responsibility to them and start focusing more on your zone of genius and your leadership. 
• Don’t neglect your self-care. Checking in with yourself (either alone or with a professional) is vital for leading successfully. 

"My experience has been when you build that trust, then the pie gets bigger because now you've got multiple people who can have those relationships because we've got that finite amount of time." —  Tim Lupinacci
