As the perfect follow-up to our episode last week on expressing gratitude with guest Chester Elton - we're revisiting our conversation with Andreas Widmer. In this episode, Andreas chats with Brandon and Randy on how doing good, from our employees to our customers, can lead to prosperity – both, monetarily and culturally in the workplace.

What makes for an "all-in" culture... those top-performing teams that are the foundation of world-class organizations? It all comes down to showing gratitude.

As we continue our "Refocus" series on The Leadership Foundry Podcast, we get this great reminder from guest, Ken Keen: Learn how to manage your time and say "no". When we overload ourselves (and our calendars) we're not able to fully show up and give our best selves to that project or initiative, thus rendering us less effective. If this feels like you, listen in.
