There exists a species of followers that flat out aren't good at following. And, they aren't good at following because they aren't the least bit interested in following you.

They have their own plans, their own initiatives and their own motivations. And, the last thing they have time for...is following you.

Why? Because they are cats. They are fellow leaders. They are free spirits with clear minds of their own.

These cats are independent, and are mostly interested in doing exactly what THEY want to do. Rarely, does that include participating in your vision, mission or even short-term goals.

But...you've got to lead them none-the-less. So what you do?

Join Michael and Jim in this purr-fectly enjoyable and important episode as they explain how to master the art of herding cats.

TAG 106 - Somebody Has To Be The Adult

Somebody has to be the adult around here. So why does it always have to be you? Because you're the leader.

It's true. As a leader, you don't get to jump in the puddles, fling yourself off of the swing set and make stuff out of Playdoh like your employees get to do.

You have to be serious. You have to be the responsible one. You have to always pick up the tab.

It can be a great burden. Yet, it can also be a true blessing.

Join Michael and Jim in this fun episode that highlights the frustrations and joys of being a leader.
