There’s never been more expert advice accessible to leaders than there is today. A quick search online and you’ll find tips from countless resources on how you can navigate your particular leadership or business problem. Everyone has something to say.

But the catch is: Who should you follow?

Tiffany Sauder, CEO of Element Three, sits down with Joe Mills on this episode of 1,000 Stories to share her perspectives on how she’s able to openly receive feedback and advice, and confidently discern whether or not to follow it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

2. How achieving small wins is a clue you’re heading in the right direction.
