James Reed: all about business · 68. Ex Gordon Ramsay Group CEO reveals his turnaround playbook | Stuart Gillies · 2 Mar 2026 podcast

If there was a challenge, I'm better out of my, in fact, that's the lesson.

I'm better out of my comfort zone.

I am better under pressure and out of my comfort zone.

I did a couple of courses when I was CEO of Gordon, a couple of courses at Harvard, the exec ed courses.

They do this executive education courses where you do a big chunk of a BA course in 10 days.

And it's really intense.

And you live together as this group.

So you live on campus, you live together, you study together, and you're working almost like 24 seven.

It's super intense.

And I was definitely probably the least smart person in both the courses I did, which I have no problem saying because all the people have done a lot of these courses before.

And I was a chef and newly promoted CEO.

I didn't know what I was walking into, but I took the most out of those courses.

That's for sure, because I just learned more about the fact of how to look at business, how to look at the future, how to look at what being a disruptor means, and also about internal focus on you, how that then impacts other people and affects other people.

There was so much I learned.

from that just by being in that community and with those teachers they were fantastic courses and i think that's what harvard puts them on for is to teach all those values not just stuff you can learn from a book it's about the whole package of being a a good business person that capitalism can be good

If you do it well, there's nothing wrong with capitalism if you spread the love and you spread the profit.

And so that was a really big education for me.

So I think the big learning was I'm better out my comfort zone.

When I'm not out my comfort zone, I'm probably not pushing myself enough.

I'm not reverting back to that, focus my mind, get up earlier, get my list done, make my plan and go.
