Thank you John for breaking this down in a simple & direct way. I'm constantly impressed with how you make really complex ideas super easy to understand for busy leaders.

Hi John, thank you for sharing the different types of leaders. It makes me look back at myself on what type of leader I am and what type of leader I can be.
At this point I’m ready to go plant the seed of the tree, that hopefully I’ll be able to sit under some day.
