Favorite LOTH Memory
Favorite LOTH Memory
“I am a huge fan of open communication. My favorite memory at LOTH is of the first Townhall meeting two weeks after I assumed the role of Interim President. I thought that the Leadership Team (which was half physically present in Columbus and half in Cincinnati) did a great job of updating everyone on the business, and I believe that the audiences were visibly engaged in what the leaders had to say..”
Advice For The Next Generation Of Business Leaders
In this “Hybrid” world be present as much as possible. Some of the best opportunities to be mentored by senior leaders and to mentor those who work for you don’t come over Teams or Zoom. They occur in conference rooms before or after meetings; they occur at the water cooler or coffee maker; they occur in the hallway; and they occur when people connect for a few minutes in person over a topic that they wouldn’t schedule a call for.
