17. People Don't Like To Be Put In Boxes with Kristin A. Sherry

When I work with leaders in business, I emphasize this powerful truth: 

If you want to achieve organizational excellence, you must understand how the people on your team are exceptional.

That's why it's such an honor for me to talk with Kristin A. Sherry.

In this conversation we discuss how managers miss opportunities to recognize and coach the magnificent talents of their employees.
