    How Jimmy Burroughes Helps Overwhelmed Leaders Remove Operational Friction | Bend Like Bamboo Jimmy shares powerful lessons from leading soldiers during the Gulf War to guiding Fortune 500 managers today — revealing why the strongest leaders aren’t the ones who know everything, but the ones who listen, collaborate, and let others shine.
