What happens when two OU leaders sit down with their mentors? You get a conversation filled with a trip down memory lane, career-defining advice, unexpected insights, and plenty of wisdom. In the latest Oh, You? Podcast episode, our EVP Josh Joseph sat down with our CHRO Josh Gottesman, MBA, SHRM-SCP to talk about his leadership journey, the lessons he's learned, the challenges he's faced, and the mentors who helped shape his career. We took that conversation a step further with a live panel at OU HQ, featuring the Josh duo and their own mentors, Yeshiva University President Emeritus Richard Joel and Lenny Bessler, MBA, SPHR, SHRM-SCP. Together, they explored the impact of mentorship, the pivotal moments that shaped their careers, and how great leadership is built over time. It was a powerful reminder that behind every great leader is a mentor who helped guide the way. Who has been a mentor in your life? Drop their name in the comments and give them a shoutout!
