In this episode of Slingshot25's Shotcast, leadership experts Jackie Pelland and Courtney Smock talk about why leaders shouldn't internalize the chaos of a messy integration, how to "give it back to the system" instead of carrying it alone, and why senior leaders need to go see the reality of their organization instead of trusting information that's been bubble-wrapped on its way to the top.
