Navigating criticism in a productive way can be tricky, but luckily Craig and Greg are here to help! In this episode, the guys discuss how the right kind of criticism can be empowering for your organization.

    Good habits make great leaders

    Good habits make great leaders

    Automatic habits are an integral part of our everyday lives. From driving a car to the way we tie our shoes, these habits help us all the time with very little thought. Of course, habits aren’t limited to these mundane tasks, we also form them in other areas, like our leadership. As a leader, it’s important to be self-reflective of our habits, and make sure they are taking us in the direction we want to go. In this episode, Craig and Greg discuss how cultivating the right habits will help you flourish as a leader.
