Empire Building 240. Learning from Wins and Losses
Success leaves clues. Failure leaves clues, too. In this episode, we discuss recent personal wins and losses and what we have learned from them.
We analyze the departure of a recent hire and what clues that situation gives us about how to improve our leadership, hiring, and managing skills. We also talk about getting off track with personal health and how it can bring our attention back to what really matters.
We also celebrate our wins. Seychelle was able to run her company remotely for the summer, and Sarah was able to pull her company out of stagnation. These wins left us clues about the power of giving your team autonomy and, of course, the wisdom found in “Good to Great.”
It’s hard to be this vulnerable and transparent on a podcast, but that’s what we’re all about here at Empire Building. That’s what it takes to build a big business and a bigger life!
