The Reluctant Visionary | John Snyder

That's the situation John Snyder found himself in. In today's episode, John talks about how it's like being a reluctant Visionary.

"I know we're focused on the business, I know we're focused on profits and growth, and culture and all those different things. But don't forget about the real problems and challenges some of the folks are having, and make sure that you have an environment where those can come out, surface and be discussed, and it's not stigmatized."
