099: Diary of a CEO in Crisis | Simon Leslie

Simon Leslie is the CEO of Ink Global, the world's largest publisher of in-flight magazines..........that was until the global pandemic arrived. Simon is also the author of a number of books including 'Equanimity - Diary of a CEO in Crisis' which he wrote during the challenges of the pandemic. Simon has been a serial entrepreneur all his life striving to do things better, differently and in a culture that rewards behaviours as well as results. The pandemic almost destroyed the company that Simon had spent 27 years building and developing. His recent experiences were a deeply personal voyage of discovery, courage, vulnerability and reflection. Simon describes how he 'kept feeding his positive dog' and how the pandemic years proved to be the most valuable learning experience of his career to date. We talk about recognising weak signals, the power of culture, what 50 global speakers did to help a CEO in crisis and how the fact that having a leadership title does not make any of us leaders, just as if standing in a car park doesn't mean we are a car!! Enjoy this deeply personal, heart warming and insightful episode.
