Ellyn Davidson: How Leaders Survive Tragedy

Ellyn Davidson: President, Brogan &amp; Partners    In this episode, Nathan and Ellyn Davidson discuss:   Who is Brogan &amp; Partners.  Pivotal moments in Ellyn's career.  How a mentor influenced Ellyn.  How dealing with cancer created a new perspective on life.     Key Takeaways:   Focus on creating a healthy culture when you take over a business.  As a mentor, allow the mentee to do things on their own, but be available when they need your help.  Do not micromanage your employees; instead guide your employees.  Don't sweat the small stuff.
