Unlabeled Leadership 113: Dustin DeVries, Service, and Team Commitment
I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 113, Dustin DeVries talks about a manager who shared Parkinson’s Law to help Dustin resolve some scheduling issues. He then describes the upside-down pyramid and how the concept applies to a business context. Dustin ends with advice about how we can strengthen how we lead.
