What makes an

Bill Bergau

After working with executives in every industry from higher education to pharmaceutical sales, I noticed a trend: even the most competent leaders sometimes struggle to motivate their team, communicate their vision, or deliver feedback. And no wonder–no one teaches you this stuff in school!
