We sit down with business turnaround specialist, author and reluctant influencer Chris Hirst to find out why and how to fix it (turns out that leadership is always the solution as well).Leadership transforms business for good and bad, Chris talks us through why the smallest unit of any business is a team, and that all teams have leaders. We also discuss ‘culture’ and why most leaders think about it the wrong way, and how if you get it right it is a business superpower. If you want to get an equation for understanding leadership impact (yes an actual equation), learn how to mitigate against 20% of your team providing 80% of your businesses value or just get your head round the fact that failure is a prerequisite for success this is the episode for you.He’ll also explain how to write a book by accident.You can buy Chris's books on Amazon*For Apple Podcast chapters, access them from the menu in the bottom right corner of your player*Spotify Video Chapters:00:00 BWB with Chris Hirst01:36 The Role of an Influencer02:13 Understanding Leadership09:50 The Importance of Culture12:54 Team Dynamics and Flexible Working18:23 Leadership in Complex Organisations34:23 The British Perspective on Leadership41:09 The Power of Writing for Clarity41:35 The Journey of Leadership43:48 Understanding Work Fulfilment45:21 Challenges in Workplace Dynamics49:38 The Importance of Fair Compensation01:00:44 Turning Around a Failing Business01:04:45 Quick Fire - Get To Know Chris01:13:08 Wrap Upbusinesswithoutbullshit.meWatch us on YouTubeFollow us:InstagramTikTokLinkedinTwitterFacebookIf you'd like to be on the show, get in contact - [email protected] is powered by Oury Clark
