Leadership, Empathy and the Power of Persuasion, with Jim McGraw

Legendary entrepreneur Ewing Kauffman's success in building Marion Laboratories is like an entrepreneur's dream come true. With just $5,000 of borrowed money, he built the company into a $6.5 billion success. He also went on to found the Kauffman Foundation and became the owner of the Kansas City Royals. How did he do it? Jim McGraw served as Mr. K's Chief Operating Officer during Marion's period of explosive growth. As his way of giving back, Jim has developed a free program called LEAPPAhead that outlines three of the critical skills he and Mr. K used at Marion during its glory days. These skills are as valuable today as they were then, and Jim joins host Kelly Scanlon to share them with you.   For more information about host Kelly Scanlon, please visit her radio page website or business website.
