The United States Army defines leadership as “the process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improve the organization.” While some may believe that leadership is a trait that people are inherently born with, this week’s guest on The Malliard Report believes that even some of the most timid individuals have the ability to become the most successful leaders. This week Jim welcomes Lolly Daskal to the show to discuss her role with some of the most influential people, spanning multiple levels of industry, and harnessing that inward wherewithal to become a successful leader.
