IT STARTS WITH US: Leadership, Teamwork & Mindset - presented by Jon Gordon

Teams rise and fall on culture, leadership, relationships, attitude, and effort. Three things you control daily are your attitude, effort, and actions to be a great teammate. It doesn’t matter what is happening around you and who you think is being unfair. Every day you can focus on being positive, working hard, and making others around you better.
