Ep.166 Fearless Business: Leading With Impact, Purpose, and Fulfillment, with Robin Waite | Leadership podcasts for new founders
Manage episode 477493707 series 3403511
Are you fulfilled at work? As a leader? As a business-owner?
It's not a loaded question, but it is an important one. This week on Leading with Integrity, I'll be chatting with Business Coach, Author, and Entrepreneur Robin Waite, who shares his journey from running a marketing agency to becoming a business coach. Key themes of the conversation include the importance of personal fulfillment, the challenges of corporate life, and the need for a supportive work environment.
The discussion touches on the effectiveness of corporate well-being initiatives, the potential benefits of a four-day work week, and the limitations of the traditional education system in preparing individuals for success in business (and life - and I'll confess to you now, I may get on my soapbox a bit here!!).
We also explore common mistakes that lead to business failures, why effective business planning is crucial; and what that can look like - it's not always a flash slide deck or 400-tab financial model. Leadership lessons are shared, we talk about trust and autonomy in management, and some inspiring examples of effective leadership.
It's a big conversation about big topics and there's some vital lessons & advice here for leaders and founders alike.
