The Leadership Growth Podcast

Do you know the most important skill for a leader?

A conversation with an old friend from high school led Daniel to think carefully about this question, and his answer?
Coaching.
In this episode of The Leadership Growth Podcast, Daniel and Peter discuss the five most important steps to effectively coaching someone on your team.
