About this listen

 "What it takes to help others succeed." An 'assist' is a term from basketball referring to a pass that leads directly to a teammate scoring - crediting one player for helping another to succeed. In each episode, we discuss a different concept that links to helping others succeed - and give our views on culture, leadership, and life along the way.Copyright 2025 Andy Crosbie and James Ogden Personal Development Personal Success Social Sciences

And fundamentally, what are the conditions for growth?
