Leo & Randy On Coming Together

Peernovation: What Peer Advisory Groups Can Teach Us About Building High-Performing Teams by Leo Bottary is Leo’s latest book. It’s Leo’s third book following, The Power Of Peers (coauthored with Leon Shapiro) and What Anyone Can Do. 

On today’s show, we make observations of what we can all learn from this week’s presidential election in America. Leo’s Peernovation framework was created to help us foster high-performing teams in our organizations. But this week the Peernovation framework is suitable for our country’s need to collectively come together in hopes we can more effectively tackle the challenges before us — and to take full advantage of the opportunities we might otherwise overlook.

The message of the book is useful for our businesses, our organizations, our teams, our families, and yes, even countries.

The power of WE begins with YOU.

Good news! Leo is heading to San Antonio to Gameday Media to begin narration on the new book. He’ll be working with owner/founder John Largent to get the audiobook released in early to mid-December, just in time for the holidays.

Leo & Randy On Stories (Told & Untold)

Peernovation: What Peer Advisory Groups Can Teach Us About Building High-Performing Teams by Leo Bottary is Leo’s third book. Like his previous works, The Power Of Peers (coauthored with Leon Shapiro) and What Anyone Can Do, this book contains powerful stories to help readers connect with the content. 

On today’s show, we discuss the power of stories. The Peernovation framework was created to help you foster high-performing teams in your organization. Part of that framework is best illustrated with stories because they help us relate to one another.

Leo intentionally made sure the pricing of this new book is extremely affordable so the message can reach the widest audience possible – “The power of WE begins with YOU.”
