  • Stacy Lademar episode 2/10:26

    The conversation about the importance of training leaders working in senior living is an important one. I agree with her emphasis on training leaders of others to provide positive and constructive feedback, and to be seeking feedback for themselves. Feedback is a universal top talent skill - industry agnostic.
