In this episode, we explore 3 questions posed to us by our listeners:
1. How would you use a framework, like Integrity Leadership, to guide your decision-making?
2. HR and managers need to be more focused on workplace culture, but what does that look like in the everyday processes they have to go through?
3. What are your thoughts on performance management, tips, mistakes, and new ideas?
