I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 101, Dave Barton explains something he learned from a mentor when they were told that a senior-level manager was running late for their meeting. Dave then shares a story about a race and explains how his sister valued a friend more than achieving a personal goal. Next, Dave advises us on how we can strengthen how we lead.
