Inspiration - One of Four Leader Prerequ...

Timothy Dean Smith, Leadership Speaker, Coach and Podcast Host

About this episode

"Send me a text message and let me know what you think of the First-Time Leaders Accelerated℠ Podcast."

If the leader candidate is lacking one or more of the four prerequisites, the candidate should not be promoted to a leader role. Doing so would be a recipe for failure, not to mention, create a lot of distress and loss of money. It is okay for the leader candidate to remain an individual performer.

I look forward to our "get to know each other" conversation.

Treat people like they make a difference and they will.
