Ep.143 I Deciding to Conquer Leadership Anxiety: Am I ‘Infecting’ My Team? with Steve Cuss
Anxiety in leadership isn’t always biting your nails and fretting; it can be as simple as always needing the last word, asking too many questions, shifting the tone of a room, and passing blame. Steve Cuss shares how to break these cultural patterns within your business by tackling the roots of your spiritual wellness.
