Employee engagement begins with leader engagement.

Are you too busy?  Join the club…we all are.  Even though we’re busy as leaders we shouldn’t be too busy to invest time in our team. We focus a lot on our external customers but it’s the internal ones that will make or break the mission. That’s the topic this week as I talk to, Dan Sachs, about his new book, The Million Dollar Greeting!

We hit on a lot of leadership topics such as accountability, being a disciplined leader and the importance of authenticity in today’s world.  But the thing that stuck the most with me was when he said, “the cemetery is full of indispensable people.”  Dan was great to talk with and I know you’ll get a lot out of our conversation.  CHEERS!
