Inspectations
by Justin Starbird
This is The Inspectations Podcast, hosted by Justin Starbird, CEO of The Aebli Group. In business, one of the most difficult tasks a leader must do is find a way to “Inspect what they expect.” Too often great businesses fail, or managers lose their way because they were operating based on expectations that they had not yet inspected. Most often, there is a communication breakdown between what the desired outcome is and the path to follow to get there. The Inspectations Podcast brings together business leaders from all industries to talk about best practices, innovation, leadership, and business development. The concept was born from an internal conversation with the TAG Team resulting in the realization that process & systems could be improved. You are listening to The Inspectations Podcast.
