Key Takeaways:

• Intentionally create culture: Culture doesn't just happen. Make the time to create culture at your organization.

• Create space and time to be the best for the team: Let the team know what you need to be the best for the team. Find people to fill your gaps.

• Be Self-Aware: In order to grow as a leader, you need to be vulnerable to build trust with other people. Vocalize when something is eating at you.
