IN THIS EPISODE • The two wake-up calls that changed how Dr. Jake leads, including what he learned about his grandfather's real legacy • Why top talent leaves: not for money, but because they stop being heard, developed, or given room to grow • The idea behind his book People First, Results Second, and why people-first leadership is a competitive advantage, not a soft skill • Why leaders aren't born. They're bred through environment, exposure, and being put through the fire YOUR CHALLENGE Start each day by asking: How can I put my people first today? ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Bred To Lead is powered by SIPS Healthcare Solutions.
