"Nice Business!" Podcast
“Ruthlessly” use human kindness and decency when becoming the best business owner/manager you can be. After all, would you rather be loved or feared by your team?
Richard Train from Richard L Train Consulting, LLC talks with Jim Bob Howard about how to help business leaders uncover those pesky "drama problems" that quietly drain performance: poor communication, disengaged teams, toxic staff dynamics, or leadership gaps no one wants to touch, and how to overcome them.
