The way we lead as marketers should take into account both personal and professional passions of our people, not just one. Couple that idea with accountability, and a whole lot gets done. Misty sits down with CEO of Refound, Jonathan Raymond, to talk about these concepts and explore his book, Good Authority. He tells his unique story about how attending law school, studying philosophy, taking a spiritual journey and stepping down from a previous CEO role has all led him to the work he is doing today to train leaders.
“Anytime there’s a gap between how we treat our customers and how we treat our people, it’s having an impact on the business already.”
