Making a Conscious Effort to Be Positive (wsg Jack Lintol) – EP 71
During this episode, You, Me and Your Top Three host, Gregg Garrett, speaks about finding your drive. He speaks with Jack Lintol, a multi-time CEO who is currently with Detroit Trading Company. Jack shares the importance of how leadership differs during disruption and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who can be part of your system. And, of course, he speaks about his ‘Top 3’ – from his wife, to fellow CEOs, to trusted colleagues who have run the plays with him in the past, and ultimately to his faith and the father figures who speak with him from afar. And you have to hear what he has to say about knowing when it is right to look in the mirror or when to look through the window.
