For a business to grow, its leaders must first grow. But today, we are going to talk about leadership of a particular kind. So I’ve invited Mike Cameron, author of Becoming A Better Man, to talk about his thoughts, insights and experiences on the topic of leadership. Mike is an expert on leading from the heart. And this is exactly what we need – empathetic leadership – if we want our team members to show up committed and engaged. It was an interesting conversation and we covered so much including navigating through the messiness of day-to-day life, applying principles, coping, expectation shifting, and a lot more. In this episode we discuss: [06:53] The lessons he has learned through running marathons.
