You bet!

The Leadership Bet is not a gamble—it is a calculated risk that everything rises and falls on leadership. Bill Partin has worked on the philosophy ever since becoming interested in leadership in his late-20s, when he began reading everything he could about leadership. Bill studied many different leaders, including Walt Disney.

Read the story that moved him and his wife from Southern California in 2013 to Charlotte, North Carolina, and what he’s learned along the way.

Join Bill as he shares the bets he’s made throughout his life and what he’s learned about leadership along the way.
