In this episode, Dr. Dan Shike goes into the foundational purposes of judging programs and the way they have evolved into some kind of sport.

2 年The Beef Podcast Show, I agree; forward and innovative is key. I also learned that companies need divergent and eclectic thinkers unafraid of operating outside silos. These types of leaders are usually the ones that pushes the envelopes using a team of teams approach. Love the podcast and Dr. Dan Shike.
