Summary

Leaders are not defined by their title. They’re defined by what they do for the people who work for them. Your employees will succeed or fail on your watch.

One of the best characteristics a leader can have is humility. Most business owners feel they have to have all the answers, but best business owners know they only need to know where to find the answers and sometimes that means firing yourself.

In this episode, Kale and Trevor discuss the lessons in their ongoing quest to find their replacements in the daily operations of their business.
