We have been blessed with the opportunity to serve hundreds of CEOs since we started our leadership advisory business.

Our clients lead Fortune 1000 enterprises, mid-market companies, and smaller, growth businesses.

We continue to grow with them and learn from them. So, in this series, we will share the best leadership advice that one of our CEO clients has received.

Today we will feature Jennifer Sampson, McDermott-Templeton President and CEO, United Way of Metropolitan Dallas.

The best leadership advice will always help a leader surface some inner strength.

In my position as CEO of one of the largest United Ways in the country, one of the best pieces of advice I received was to invite other voices, opinions, and partners to join the table where I’m sitting. When you seek out voices from different backgrounds, experiences, and cultures, you’ll unleash the human magic that helps you reach your highest potential and accelerate your impact.

Whether your goal is to improve the bottom line of a Fortune 500 company or make a region a better place where all residents have the opportunity to thrive, the more diverse the table is, the higher the chances of success.
