Vaughn is the co-founder of Results-Driven Leadership. He is not your average leadership development expert. As a co-founder of Results-Driven Leadership and former Carmax executive, he knows what it takes to be a high-impact leader and manager. Rather than offering theory, his coaching and training programs provide common-sense advice and direction based on real-world experience.
What Scott discusses with Vaughn
- How one boss influenced him for the rest of his life
- How people are promoted with little to no experience or training to be leaders
- Why he'd had enough of having a boss
- Why he asks people to tell them about the best and worst bosses they have had
- 80% of all new managers fail in the first 18 months
- Management afraid of confrontation and the impact it has
- Managers who become friends with their staff
- And much more...
