Finishing is the easy part, it's the starting something that takes work.

Few things in life are more awkward than leading someone who doesn't see "eye to eye" with you. Maybe they are a few years (or generations) older and haven't caught on to the new tech thing.

Regardless of where you stand, this episode helps us understand what it's like to lead in both directions.
