Intro: Hello Imperfect Leaders. Sometimes, when I am listening to a podcast, I hear the host say, “This week, we’re only playing part 1 of a two-part podcast.” And I think to myself, “Do they really have that much good material to warrant two weeks or are they just being lazy??” Most of the time, it’s really because the guest does have a lot of good examples to share. That’s definitely the case this week with my guest, Joe Santana.

You’re really going to enjoy Joe (not in the sense of when your mother would tell you you’ll be so happy if you got a haircut – oh, was that just me?). I mean it, you REALLY are going to enjoy this episode and the follow up next week.

In Part 1, you are going to learn more about Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and why they really are important for any organization, especially for school districts. Thanks for tuning in!
