Lead with Heart, Not Harm

Knack 4 Business

Many leaders don’t realize they’re causing stress and harm, even when they mean well.

In today’s episode, hosts Bernie Franzgrote (profile) and Wayne Pratt (LinkedIn) sit down with Trevor Bryce Stevenson from ConsciousLead to explore the power of leading with heart.
