We explore the counter-intuitive practices he implemented, mistakes he made during his leadership journey, the importance of culture, and why putting people first is always the best solution for success. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Namely, the all in-one HR solution that makes life easier for your employees, your boss and you!
