Some key takeaways from this episode include:
Data can be leveraged in your business by maximizing the value of your supplier footprint, taking advantage of different payment modalities, and improving operational efficiency.
When you connect with your team members, connect with them as people first and employees second. Ask them how their families are doing, how they’re doing, and make that connection with them before you jump into the agenda items for the day.
Learning what motivates each person on your team is crucial for keeping them engaged at a high level. Brian learned this from coaching youth sports, but it certainly applies to leaders at all levels.
