What Traits Make a Good Leader with Dann...

Glenn Pasch
About this episode

What traits make a good leader? Or a great leader? This is a question many leaders struggle with when looking to add to their team or find their replacement.

Too often individuals are promoted because they achieved a goal. That does not mean they will be able to handle the skills necessary to lead. 

Danny Zaslavsky, Dealer principle of Country Hills Motors and Managing Partner of Vincue, an automotive software platform, shares his vision on this topic. From growing his team in the dealership to launching a whole new business, he shares how he identified those he needed to surround himself with in order to achieve his vision.

One of the key identifiers was the ability to allow them to be independent of him, so they brought more value and he was not the roadblock.

Fascinating conversation with many tactical strategies to help you. 

Enjoy, don't forget to share!!!
