In this podcast he discusses his views on business leadership, what companies get right in their approach to growth and scaling up, as well as what it takes to cultivate the high performance culture within an organisation. \nYou’ve seen a lot and studied a lot, you’ve met some very impressive business leaders across the globe, is there anyone that sticks out as the most impressive business leader and why?\nA big company example would be Bill Gates, to think today as we are doing this podcast the company Microsoft is worth over $1 trillion, and they are ahead of the Facebooks, the Apples and the Amazons, Bill would clearly be the wealthiest guy on the planet next to Putin, if he hadn’t given away a chunk of his change. The decisions that they have made, the way they have structured the company not to be resilient but to be ‘anti=-fragile’ the fact that Microsoft is driven by 15,000 or so entrepreneurs, these ‘solution providers’ that are in the field, that is a business model that you just can’t beat. In our day and age, I don’t think there is a smarter business leader. \nOn the mid-market, it’s the Australian guys over at Atlassian, the last I checked they were around 32 billion in value, and it’s because of their outstanding leadership, and their new approach to business plus their technology is really causing a revolution in the way we lead companies around the planet. \nHow do you walk the line of high performance and the aspect of accountability that comes with that, and the aspect of care and empathy/connection with your team?\nThere is nothing better than the win and winning begets winning. One of the things that we encourage is if you’ve been losing for a while and your culture is damaged, that you piece together some little wins....","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/01HT6z1np-eEBjtcyMsB-BQNcra3Lsw2YpfXw9vSi1A/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/Lzg5ODYvMTY1OTMw/NDQ1Ny1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
