As leaders, we are called to lead in both our professional and personal lives. For two domains that tend to be pit against each other or that we feel we must compartmentalize, there are many parallels that we can recognize and use to our benefit. Experiences and skills developed in our career can translate to the home, and vice versa. In this episode, we explore these opportunities for better performance and satisfaction in the office and everywhere else.
