Curious Leadership with Dominic Monkhouse E280 | From Renegade Founder to Renegade Leader with Benj Miller
This week on The Melting Pot, we learned from Benj Miller, the CEO of System & Soul. Benj brings a refreshing perspective to the challenge of transitioning from a founder-centric to a collective mindset. His journey began with the realisation that the bass line in a jazz performance symbolises the essential cadence needed to provide consistency and empowerment. Having witnessed founders' struggle to elevate their best technicians into leadership roles without adequate support, Benj learned the importance of clear, candid conversations to align individual motivations with the needs of the business.
As a business coach and serial entrepreneur, Benj has an extensive background in founding and managing ten successful businesses. Specialising in crafting a business operating framework based on his own entrepreneurial journey, Benj has honed his expertise in guiding senior leadership teams of stage two companies through the challenging shift from a founder-centric to a team-led approach. With a focus on developing purpose-driven cultures and fostering collective mindsets within organisations, he brings a wealth of practical insights and strategies to help leaders navigate this pivotal transformation for long-term success and sustainable growth.
