A sneak peek inside the episode:

“I think for myself and my team, we really focus on the distributed leadership model being a collaborative approach where everybody in the business is invited to contribute to where the company’s going and what we’re going to achieve. I feel that with everybody on board with where the journey is headed and everybody’s in alignment with where we want to go, we tend to have greater success.”
