Creating Synergy Podcast #84– Paul Edginton, CEO at Vinomofo on Curing the plague of the "Proper CEO" mindset and how to be the leader you want to be
A great thinker, strategist and business leader, Paul talks to us about his journey and learning experiences as CEO and how he led SYC to become one of the largest and most innovative purpose Organizations in Australia.
As a not-for-profit veteran, with over 18 years of experience as a CEO of some of our most game-changing organisations including Vinomofo, Paul Edgington knows one thing:
There’s no such thing as a Proper CEO.
So don’t bother trying.
Starting off as a sixteen-year-old who walked into his local pizza joint and thought, hey, I could run this place, Paul has learned some serious lessons in leadership.
In this episode, we explore:
🎯 Why hope alone isn’t a strategy for the not-for-profit sector
🎯 And why certainty is a false idol for leaders
🎯 Curing the plague of the Proper CEO and being the one you want to be
Paul’s journey from start-ups to c-suite, from large not-for-profits to industry disruptors like Vinomofo, has shown him the importance of calibrating, recalibrating and then calibrating again.
In a world of constant change, Paul will explain how language matters, disruption is vital and how his sixteen-year-old self had it all wrong.
