E172 | Leadership, Growth Mindset and Learning from a Peer Organisation with Ian Windle

If you’re a leader and you don’t have a coach, then you’re missing a trick. 

Ian Windle is group chairman at Vistage, a global peer board organisation. He's also a TEDx speaker, executive coach, team builder, author, podcast host. In this latest episode of The Melting Pot, Ian talks about his obsession with leadership, developing leaders, and having a growth mindset. 

He discusses building high performing teams, what being in a peer organisation like Vistage or YPO, or EO is like, and the value you get from being a part of it. He also shares what you can learn from being a member, and what you can take back into your own organisation, and how to solve problems, either in a peer organisation or with coaching. 

He also talks about building trust, why leaders need to show vulnerability, and how to create and cultivate a growth mindset. 

Finally, Ian has some questions that you as a leader should be asking of your executive team as we end 2021, about to enter 2022, as well as some great book recommendations.
