YOUR BUSINESS AUTHORITY
Springfield, MO
Three executives. Three days.
Springfield Business Journal’s annual Day in the Life feature is back, this time taking you into the day of a health care leader, school district superintendent and brewery owner. While each leader is unique in their role, industry and personality, there’s a thread that ties them together: They prioritize connecting with the heart of their company missions. For Max Buetow at CoxHealth, that’s allotting extra time on his way to meetings to greet co-workers along the way. For Springfield Public Schools’ Grenita Lathan, it’s taking selfies with students during a school visit. And for Carol McLeod, it’s grabbing a drink with Hold Fast Brewing customers. SBJ’s editorial staff followed them to bring you a glimpse into their world. Join us as we share what we saw in the 2024 Day in the Life.
