Episode Quotes
“If you’re somebody that doesn’t like conflict, then you need to get it. You need to be able to make those tough decisions because the greater good is at risk.” (Phil Sponsler)
“We understand that barking orders is just not the way to communicate to anyone. Now, that’s not to say you need to soft pedal it, because being direct and being very clear – but being polite – always works, regardless of where you come from.” (Joe Ponds)
“The people on your team are the ambassadors to your vision.” (Michelle Steffes)
“It’s not about protecting people’s feelings. It’s about equipping someone to become better at what they do so the organization becomes better and that person you’re helping becomes better.” (Bo Short)
“The biggest thing that has changed is that in the past, you could capitalize on the market because of your access to capital or you had the latest, greatest technology. Now it’s all about the workforce. How you win and how you compete is by having the best team.” (Jen Hamilton)
