Podcast: Opportunity In Not Being Seduced By Easy – Transformative Leadership


Joe Nettemeyer believes the very nature of leadership throughout distribution is changing .. and must change.

Joe explains that there has been a seduction to “easy” as a result of the long history of growth our economy, markets, industries, and businesses have experienced over the last decades.

There is opportunity in not being seduced by easy.  Joe Nettemeyer

In years past, leaders could ride the wave. It wasn’t important to lead, it was just important to service what was rolling in the door. Now as the world and our markets change at a disruptive pace, we must create demand, not just service demand, and that takes a different thought process, a different way of thinking and transformative leadership.
