37 - Dancing with Monsters | Leadership lessons with Dr. Todd Dewett

In this episode, I am joined by renowned leadership speaker and author, Dr. Todd Dewett. We talk about his first foray into novels after having an illustrious public speaking, teaching, and consulting career. We go deep on his 5 rules for leadership, and talk advice for both new and seasoned managers. Great episode for me personally, it left me a lot to think about. Oh, and we learned that apparently I can't say authenticity.

I hope it does you as well.
