Leader's Front Ep1 Welcome to the premiere episode of "Leaders Front" with Dr. Michael Sims! Sims kicks off the show with his first guest, Derek Thompson, the CEO of T&T Creative Group, a digital media marketing firm that has been in business for over 12 years and works with Fortune 50 companies globally.

Thompson, who started his first business in high school, discusses how T&T Creative Group evolved from web development into a full-scale media company. The two leaders discuss the importance of having a "whatever it takes attitude" and a "business first, company first, yourself second" mindset in leadership. Thompson shares his strategy for leading creative teams, focusing on presenting the problem and asking for their input rather than directing them on how to design or develop.

Thompson's most important advice for leaders is that trust is everything, which he breaks down into two non-negotiables: performance and integrity.

Join the conversation for valuable leadership insights and "nuggets" on dealing with negativity, building trust, and growing a business!
