Lead, Care, Win with Dan Pontefract

Season #2 Episode #7

How do you create a culture that is open and transparent, inclusive and empowering, trusting and accepting and still hit the target? If you as a leader want to “win”, you have to win in two ways. You have to win in the business and you have to win the hearts and minds of your people.  To do this, you have to care. You have to care about the target and the goals, and you have to care about the people in the path that will achieve the goal. That’s leadership.

In this episode, Dan Pontefract and I break down the lessons he shared in his new book, "Lead, Care, Win" and take a deep dive into how to create great cultures and great teams.
