But more often than not team leaders forget to verbalize and formalize their plans. Am I crazy in saying that? I don't know and I do not mean to generalize.

Reinvention with Mr. Jovit Moya

On this episode we are joined by Mr. Jovit Moya. He started his career as part of the two most iconic shows in Philippine entertainment history - Lovingly Yours Helen and That's Entertainment.

Today, he is back in the country doing showbusiness things - producing films, acting in movies and even lending his voice to characters we see on tv. Enjoy the episode. Cheers!
