Business Problems Solved Podcast Not Just An International Author - with Chester Elton
In the final episode of the 'Not Just An International Author' series, Lee talks to globally renowned employee engagement consultant, speaker and author, Chester Elton!
Chester joins the discussion to talk about how he and his co-author came to be dubbed as "The Apostles of Appreciation", and why striking the right balance between work and the home should be at the cornerstone of every decision we make.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When interacting with others, no matter how slight, always try to do so with empathy and consideration. You never know what that person is going through.
- Business is important, but it can never be as important as the happiness we seek to build at home. We need to consider what's truly important.
- The greatest businesses, the greatest leaders, and the most harmonious companies, are always based on a celebratory culture and gratitude.
- Leaders must try to show their own vulnerability in order to win the respect of their people. By displaying their humanity, they become far more relatable.
BEST MOMENTS

'If they tell me "You are your father's son" - that's the greatest compliment that anyone could ever give me'
