Today’s episode is the second in a series where I will connect weird or unusual items to leadership. And these items are coming from the challenge that I put out on our social media channels – asking our viewers to submit their suggestions for these items. So catch up on last week’s episode here and then check out this week where I will talk about the leadership lessons that we can glean from… a pencil! And believe it or not, I’ve made four connections between the two!

Tweet it out: As a leader, remember the pencil – it works better when sharp and knows how to correct mistakes. Two things we can learn from. @KevinEikenberry
