Why You Should Lead Your Company Like a Family - CEO, Dr Susan Dorfman, CMI Media Group


Listen Later

The truth is, being genuine and supportive of your teams is the key to creating a successful business. Leaders tend to think there needs to be a clear separation between work and personal life. They fear blurring this line and being their authentic self will cause them to lose their authority and respect, but it is the complete opposite.

I host Dr. Susan Dorfman, CEO and President of CMI Media Group, where she shares her thoughtful approach to running a successful company like a family.

CMI Media Group, a WPP company, is a full-service media agency focused on health, wellness, and pharmaceutical marketing.

She led her company to one of the highest employee approval ratings of any CEO in the industry and was recognized by Campaign Magazine as a top leader.
