People are not a means to an end and aren’t fulfilled being cogs in the wheel achieving some stated objective for the business and the Great Resignation is stating that loud and clear.  In this episode, Cy had a great conversation with Robb Holman, Founder of Inside Out Leadership about how to use these times as a great wake up call for leaders - a call to do the inner work, to  radically simplify, and put people over procedures to build something beyond engagement - true devotion, to the leader, the team and the purposed of the organization.  www.MoveTheNeedleBook.com
