Planting Trees Whose Shade You May Never Sit In

About The Podcast

How do you share your faith in the workplace without being overbearing? How do you build understanding with co-workers who have little in common with you? How can you use your life experiences to help others? These topics and more are covered in our latest podcast, a wide-ranging conversation with Louisiana business owner David Griffin about effective leadership both at work and at home. Balancing the needs of employees and family members isn’t easy, Griffin says, nor is managing a diverse workplace. But he says those who see the big picture and give without asking “What’s in it for me” will achieve success—and set others up to follow in their footsteps.
