The Monster Inside Every Good Leader | Jerry Brazie ft. Bruce Babashan

Most leaders confuse intensity with leadership. Bruce Babashan has spent 30 years in boxing gyms and boardrooms, and he'll tell you the difference. Bruce trained fighters, Olympians, and world champions while rising to practice president at one of the country's largest executive search firms.
