They draw on Eric’s 26 years with Enterprise Holdings which led him from its infancy to being one of the most decorated Regional VPs in the company’s history. \n  \nIt’s a value-packed conversation covering: \nThe five factors of employee engagement – and the vital role of coaching in this. \n  \nHow do you duplicate yourself and embed culture as you grow? Eric introduces us to the ABC of communication and where Cultural Carriers come in. \n  \nEric takes us through his simple but effective approach to training and development so scaling business owners can let go and trust. \n  \nThe three things you need to look for when hiring. \n  \nWhy kindness and weakness are not the same thing. \n  \nThe wider impact of living your values – for your employees, your family and your community. \n  \nWhat do you do when an employee who has been with you forever no longer fits with your evolved company culture? \n  \nWhy you should take your leadership skills home with you. \n  \n‘You don’t have to be the smartest guy in the room, you just have to be able to use the room’ Eric says. This sums it up well. Handing over the reins is probably the most harrowing part of taking a business to the next level but Eric’s quiet confidence and human-focused mindset is as reassuring as it is inspiring. \n  \nWe hope you enjoy listening to this idea-a-minute podcast as much as we enjoyed recording it. \nAs always, please feel free to get in touch or comment if you have something to add and share – you never know who will benefit from listening too. \n \nLearn More: ye\nVisit the Ignium website \nSubscribe for more exclusive content in the Ignium Spark Tank here \nListen to the show here \nLearn more about Scaling Up: https://scalingup.com/ \nSign Up to our Ignium Bi Monthly Newsletter https://sparksbyignium.transistor.fm/subscribe \nConnect on...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/qyhSdpMsURMAkxeyid9JHV5gxqdbrW8hgDnajhzSUaM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zMDMz/OThhYTk1MzQ3Y2Fl/MjE0NzdiYThmYmJi/MjQ5NC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
