About this episode

Gayle Lantz challenges leaders to redefine what winning means in leadership beyond traditional metrics.

We're surrounded by messages about winning and losing, especially now during the Olympic games. But what if the real win isn't about getting first place? Gayle Lantz challenges leaders to examine a critical question: What game are you actually playing?
