Could one of your leadership tools be costing you? This week, you’ll learn why your inner circle may be causing more harm than good. We’ll also be sharing new resources to help you enhance your leadership effectiveness, regardless of your position. Les McKeown spoke to a packed house at Inc.’s GrowCo event in Nashville last week.

We’d like to extend our thanks to all who attended and to Inc. for putting on another great event. If you’d like the opportunity to join Les for a leadership deep dive, you’ll have your chance this Tuesday, June 3rd. Here’s how to get your ticket! ~ Sarah
