RADICAL AUTHENTICITY! Key to BOARDROOM EXCELLENCE! 60 board members gathered for an interactive luncheon with innovators Pete Kadens and Nancy Ruscheinski. Pete, a serial entrepreneur, emphasized "Radical Authenticity" as crucial for board members, sharing lessons from building billion-dollar companies like Green Thumb Industries. Nancy's expert moderation brought out key strategies for maintaining culture and innovation during growth. Pete's signature candor? A masterclass in entrepreneurial leadership and effective boardroom strategy!

5moYou had me at ‘radical authenticity’. Oh, be a fly on those walls (even better to be myself in a seat, since I’ve never seen a fly taking notes). But seriously, love all of this. This is how we shift culture. Humility, candor and role model leadership, at its finest. We need more of this…honest discussion on how we can uplevel to our greatest good as human beings and lead with authenticity. 🙌🏽
