You might think working with you is a dream. You’re in your head all day, so, you know your intentions and beliefs better than anyone else, and I am sure they all sound reasonable. The problem is; no one else is in there with you. Even your closest allies, those who know you inside and out, are sometimes surprised by your actions. A user’s guide could give them a fighting chance. *** Read the Reflections on Leadership blog here => bimshasconsulting.com/blog  *** Join the "Reflections on Leadership" group page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/reflectionsonleadership/ If you're listening on the Anchor.fm platform you can leave an audio comment or make a donation and become a podcast supporter https://anchor.fm/karlbimshas *** Learn more about Karl Bimshas Consulting and stay up to date when you join the mailing list http://www.bimshasconsulting.com/contact/sign-up/ *** Twitter: https://twitter.com/KarlBimshas Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/KarlBimshas/ LinkedIn Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/karlbimshasconsulting/ *** Leadership Swag: Visit Leadershirts and wear your leadership philosophy on your sleeve.
