One year ago today, Keith Clicque was diagnosed with testicular cancer. What he thought was a kidney stone turned into a year of chemo, prayer, and a new baby girl, and it taught him more about leadership than any class he has taken. In this longer, more personal special episode, Keith shares why presence beats policy, why leaders need to read their people and not just their words, and why sometimes the most caring thing a leader can do is send someone home. If this reaches one person who needs to get checked, it was worth it: don't ignore symptoms, and keep up with your regular checkups.
