Welcome to Lead the Team. This podcast is for you if you'd like to motivate your direct reports, cultivate your top leaders, and accelerate your career. You'll discover the success strategies of the world's most innovate leaders where I dive into their keys to success and hard-earned, costly lessons. I host guests like legendary Honeywell CEO, David Cote and CEO of Dunkin Brands, Nigel Travis. As well as executives from companies you know like SAP, US Golf Association, Lockheed Martin. Dell, IBM, Dollar General, and Beyond Meat. Also, you hear from a variety of executives including those of smaller, rapidly growing companies that you won't hear anywhere else. You'll walk away with success strategies, hacks, and tools to lead in both your personal and professional life. My goal is to impact 1 million leaders who then transform the workplace to a more positive place to work and thrive. You're in this for effectiveness, productivity, work-life balance, and job promotion!
