How Natasha Skolny Thinks About Connecting The Dots For Your Team

Leaders often see where the company is going. Their people often can't see it yet. Natasha Skolny helps close that gap.

Natasha Skolny is a leadership coach, speaker, and founder of The Leadership Cabin. In this conversation, she and Kenny talk about why a clear vision still doesn't land with a team, why she says everyone is a leader, and how your values give you a personal North Star. They also talk about the sneaky beliefs that run in the background, and why a team of highly independent leaders can clash with the people who want to collaborate.
