Managers need organizational support to lead effectively. To do so, we may need to completely re-engineer our current systems to offer more assistance so managers can succeed in their roles.

Clint Kofford, the Vice President of Talent with National Veterinary Associates, has a unique perspective on what it means to be a leader in today’s changing landscape. With extensive experience in numerous multinational companies, Clint is a thought leader in this space.

In this episode, we discuss what has changed with managers over the last three years, whether rigid structures fit well in a changing work environment, and leaders’ roles in sparking change within their organizations.

Clint has fascinating viewpoints that caused us both to stop and think and even changed our minds about certain issues. Press play to hear what they are and to see if his views might broaden your perspective.
