When I first became a leader (or least when I finally realized I had four other people who reported to me), I knew I needed help. I went to the bookstore one Saturday afternoon and the first book I bought was from today’s guest.
I remember reading that book, The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make, over the next week and along with other books, made me into a much better leader.
I’m honored to introduce today’s guest, someone who I consider a virtual mentor and someone who recently has become a great friend, Hans Finzel.

Quote
The measure of you as a leader is not what you do, but what others do because of what you do.
If we do what comes naturally, we will not be great leaders.
