Tweetable Quote:

"Leaders, here's something I want to say to you as a caution. If you see someone in your team or in other teams who are needing help, don't be the hero… You and I have a responsibility to make sure that they get the right people around them, that professional help around them. We're not psychologists, we're leaders.”  - Denis Gianoutsos
