Key Quotes:

“As the leader, it's your job to put fire and gasoline into those goals. And I know that that's not always easy, you've got a lot of things on your plate. But what could be more important than your agency hitting those goals and for you to take a little bit of time to make sure that they're on track.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
“I think that we all need to figure out we’re two different people but all the extra time wasted is ridiculous. Producers don't walk on water and they need to do their part and account managers can't be behind the eight balls all the time, they need to do their part. But when we're throwing each other under the bus, nobody's winning.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
Agency owners, if you're plugging every hole, you're not doing yourself any justice either, you need to be working within your paygrade to lead a business to success.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
