Steve DurbinHOST
If you can't relate to people, What on earth are you doing trying to aspire to lead?

James WilksonGUEST
I've looked at some of the work you're doing, actually, and I think the point that you're looking for here and the point that I look for when I'm looking at people is how resistant are you? How easily frustrated are you by the alteration of the way our new generation is looking and examining at workplace production and I think many leaders now understand you can't act that way.

James WilksonGUEST
You have to be able, when you come into the workplace, people are coming in so much more knowledgeable because of how rapidly they can acquire information.

James WilksonGUEST
Whether that knowledge is permanently burned in their brain or not, who knows? But what we do know is is we had to work pretty hard to find out anything.

James WilksonGUEST
It takes about five seconds to utilize an AI tool or Google for that matter to learn something about anything.

James WilksonGUEST
So what's important to understand is there's a balance in leadership that really needs to be practiced.
