Welcome back Uncommon Leader Podcast Nation. Each week, I interview guests --Uncommon leaders --  from various walks of life and various points on their leadership journey. This week I flipped the script just a little bit, and I'm sharing an excerpt from a recent lean blog post podcast where I was interviewed by Lean Blog podcast host, Mark Graban. He chatted with me about many things on my leadership journey, including: Where and when did my Lean (management system based upon the Toyota Production system) journey beginWho have been mentors in my career Different points on my diverse career pathThe genesis of the Uncommon Leader podcastThe mission behind Growing Champions, the coaching & consulting business I recently startedAnd more... So I think you're really going to enjoy this podcast.
