Show Notes

Have you ever had one of those remarkable leaders who, although they led a large organization, still managed to make you feel like you mattered to them as an individual?  Today we get to hear from just such a leader--Wesley Thompson.  Wes is a former Vice President of Community Health for Intermountain Healthcare, the largest healthcare provider in the Intermountain West.  He is also a lay ecclesiastical leader who has held numerous leadership roles in his community.  

In this episode Wes shares important and practical leadership principles that he has learned, including: the lost art of picking up the phone and calling someone;  the importance of acknowledging when you're wrong and saying sorry; and delivering hard messages by speaking the truth in love.
