Today’s Leadership Challenges | Episode 220
In this week’s episode, I go solo again and answer your challenges! I asked a question in our free Facebook Community this week “What is your current leadership struggle?” and the replies were wide ranging and deep. Lots of things to consider and many different themes. Just shows leadership is not a single line process but rather an ever evolving dance. Nonetheless I decided to provide some advice to three different members’ problems live online. Here they are.

Bob and his wife, Sherry, live in Plano, TX, and are blessed with 4 incredible children and 6 remarkable grandchildren.
