In this episode, John Laurito shares the life lessons from the Chinese bamboo tree story. In a nutshell, for anyone who doesn't know, a Chinese bamboo doesn't grow until after five years. From then on, it grows to about 90 feet tall in just a few weeks. It's much like life or business, wherein success doesn't come overnight. The problem with some entrepreneurs is that they have a false perception that others generate great results overnight.

Tune in to know how this lesson ties into being a leader in an organization.
