EP 363 - Turns out that leadership is always the problem, luckily it’s also the solution.

We sit down with business turnaround specialist, author and reluctant influencer Chris Hirst to find out why and how to fix it (turns out that leadership is always the solution as well).

Leadership transforms business for good and bad, Chris talks us through why the smallest unit of any business is a team, and that all teams have leaders. We also discuss ‘culture’ and why most leaders think about it the wrong way, and how if you get it right it is a business superpower. 

If you want to get an equation for understanding leadership impact (yes an actual equation), learn how to mitigate against 20% of your team providing 80% of your businesses value or just get your head round the fact that failure is a prerequisite for success this is the episode for you.

He’ll also explain how to write a book by accident.
