Joel Fleischman Happy Hour Podcast

On this episode of the Happy Hour Podcast, we sit down with Drexel's leaders, Mitch Mallek and Mike Gullickson, to discuss what it truly takes to lead a team through change and growth. They share their journey from frontline and field roles to leadership and how they navigated the "growing pains" of their new positions. We'll get an inside look at their communication strategy in a fast-paced environment and how that impacts our core value of balance, what they've learned about leadership, and how they're building a stronger, more connected team in Amherst.Resources: Chop Wood, Carry Water by Joshua Medcalf
