Elie shares the 6 attributes he looks for in leaders - one of them is joy! – and how mastering the skill of persuasion is essential to your career. He discusses the importance of successful companies being more intentional in having mentors seek out mentees, rather than leaving it to chance. On overcoming obstacles, Elie believes it’s important for teams to share the mindset that they can make things better, by identifying the issues, breaking them down into their core problems, and coming up with solutions.
