Buckle up! This is the first of two episodes with the one and only Casey Graham.  Casey loves to ask leaders, "Do the people on your team know what you really want?" Can you answer that question without spouting out some corporate mumbo-jumbo?  Unfortunately, for far too many leaders, the answer is "no," and Casey believes that needs to change.  How can you start to get your answer to that question? It begins by checking out this episode of How to Lead. ___________________________ Click here to check out Casey's new book. ClayScroggins.com AdamTarnow.com
