LISTEN ON APPLE | LISTEN ON SPOTIFY

Dave Nugent has known me for over a decade. A tech executive and serial entrepreneur, Dave jam-packs this episode with so many gems on leadership, from leadership styles and the dynamics of team building, to fostering a motivated workplace through honesty, transparency, and genuine care for team members.

When it comes to hiring, we discuss the boldness and initiative that distinguishes standout candidates, as well as Dave’s perspective on cultural alignment in hiring, and the importance of crafting an authentic company culture.

In sharing one of my own personal stories in working with Dave, we unpack the importance of setting expectations and encouraging open communication, especially when it comes to working with younger staff. 

Dave also shares the impactful work he’s doing with the Next League University program, which opens doors for aspiring professionals in the sports industry. 

This episode will inspire you to build a thriving organizational culture and offer so many invaluable lessons to enhance your leadership approach or career trajectory!
