About this episode
It was the dawn of the American industrial and innovation boom. The corporation was on the rise. Individual craftsmen were joining teams as the marketplace transformed overnight. It was in this moment that two different forms of leadership emerged. One came from Thomas Edison. The other came from his employee Henry Ford.

Let's dig into it in this episode of the Lead In 30 Podcast!
