S7 EP2: Guinness For Strength
Listen now
Description
Strength is an interesting topic though, especially when it comes to agile…and leadership… It’s often not about knowing the answer but having the strength to say “I don’t know”. It’s about having the strength to say “Let’s try some stuff”, being prepared to stand out of the crowd and go against the status quo…trust people. Welcome to Episode 2 of the revamped format for the new year Geoff Watts and Paul Goddard get together in The Old George Inn, South Cerney to explore this topic. There's our regular features like landlord logic, pub quiz and some champagne moments to enjoy as well!
