Episode 65: The Battle of Gettysburg and Empowering Employees
The Thinking Leader
05/01/23 • 20 min
In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk about the Battle of Gettysburg and the power of letting your front line workers think for themselves.

- Why it is important for your workers to understand the intent of instructions
- How to empower your frontline employees to do the right thing
- Why your front line workers are best placed to spot serious problems
