What does truth mean to you, as a leader? What impacts can it have? They can be huge! In fact, telling the truth would have saved Walter White's life in Breaking Bad!


We meet Nick Locarno in this episode. All the makings of a strong leader. But he misses the mark. He focuses and unites his team to the team itself, and not their greater purpose. Learn from Nick's mistake and hear how you can better unite your team.
