Growing Great Employees Interview with Erika Andersen - Part 1
In this interview, I talk with Erika Andersen, author of Growing Great Employees: Turning Ordinary People Into Extraordinary Performers.
When I asked Erika what the movie pitch was for her book, she said Growing Great Employees is "Good To Great meets Marcus Buckingham in the form of a Boy Scouts Handbook". You'll have to listen to get her full explanation of that, along with our discussion of nature versus nuture, why she used a gardening analogy, and why there are good reasons to have job descriptions.

We went on so long that we had to do this in two parts. Come back next week for Part II.
