Lunch Presentation Description: Want to know the first step toward creating a great business culture? Step 1: Stop being stupid! No leader is perfect, but far too many leaders today are hamstringing the success of their organizations by thinking and acting in ways that are damaging their culture. Being a brilliant leader is challenging; but we can learn to stop doing stupid things in an afternoon. There’s great ROI on the latter, so let’s leave the self-actualization for another day, eat the low-hanging fruit, and watch our work cultures shine!
