## Resource

Fit Happens asks the question most leadership conversations avoid: why do talented people fail in the wrong roles — and thrive in the right ones? Hosted by Jason Baumgarten, an executive search specialist with decades of experience placing CEOs and building boards, each episode blends cutting-edge research with candid conversations with the leaders who've lived it. Because fit isn't luck. It's a science.
