Show Notes

Highlights:

When you're unsure about your next step having wise people speak truth over you helps provide clarity. Listen to those wise people who know you best.
Josh and David discuss loyalty in the second chair and what to do when your education, experience, and expertise tell you to go one way, but your leader is leading in another direction.
You can have a strong voice AND give your support to your leader. Know what circle you're in and knowing the appropriate time to speak. 
Writing "just because" notes are an incredible motivational tool every leader must for the teams they lead. People want to be noticed. So tell them you see them.
