What's up guys, welcome back to build.

And today I want to talk about four skills that are imperative to succeed as a new leader.

So when I say new leader, this means it could either be your leader of your own business or you're a leader of another person's business.

You know, it really is applicable both ways.

And the reason that this is top of mind for me and actually I don't really even have a script for this
