In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Kyle Huggins, the founder and CEO of Management Mogul. Kyle shares his journey from a rocky start with a liberal arts degree amidst the post-2008 crash to becoming a leader at Deloitte and eventually founding his own company. We explore the importance of developing foundational leadership skills such as building rapport, influence, and trust within teams. Kyle emphasizes the importance of mentorship and accountability, and provides insights into his methodology for effective leadership and stress-reducing work strategies. We also discuss his recently launched 'Five Days to Instant Team Trust' challenge aimed at helping new and aspiring leaders build trust with their teams.
