Big ideas don’t move the needle if no one cleans the bathrooms. In this episode we unpack the real difference between leadership and management with candid stories—from a student-run catering company that grew fast and cracked under overmanagement, to a hotel pitch that thrilled U.S. investors with vision and then hit a wall when a German board asked the most practical question: who cleans the toilets?
Some topics covered are:
- Leadership vs. management — knowing the difference
- Swinging from spreadsheets to vision
- The hotel pitch — why toilets matter
- Pairing bold vision with follow-through
- Using the bite factor to test grit
- Hiring based on your leadership–management mix
- Turning projects into repeatable processes
- Adding structure to family life and meetings
- Spotting vision misalignment vs. routine gaps
- Codifying values and reinforcing behaviors
- And more...
