Leaders survive by their brand. There has been much confusion over personal brand and whether leaders need a brand. This week’s guest explains that leaders survive by their brand, and they need to set the brand high. This will drive people to or away from you, and whatever happens is the right answer.
In this show, guest Michael Dargie shares with Judith Germain his thoughts about failing gracefully, listening well because others have all the answers that you need. He discusses the need for leaders not to have an ego and his curiosity. Judith and Michael talk about leading softly and leading from the front.
