This chapter explores the significance of long-term investment strategies, both in finance and leadership development. It emphasizes the necessity of commitment and sustained effort over quick fixes, particularly in fostering enduring relationships within business. Through the lens of a business founded in 1999, the speakers reflect on the evolution towards prioritizing long-term growth and stability in contrast to short-term profit motives.
Investing rewards those who play the long game. While short-term trading can capture gains, true wealth comes from thinking in years, even decades. This applies not just to investing, but also in business, leadership, and life. This week, David interviews Rand Stagen, Managing Director of Stagen Leadership Academy, and one of David’s favorite people in business. Rand shares his wisdom on the long-term development of leaders and organizations, why conscious leadership is crucial for businesses today, and the lessons we can all learn from playing the long game in every aspect of life. Along the way, they’ll explore the balance of business, family, and legacy, and even tackle some Buy, Sell, or Hold predictions for the future of leadership.
