What if the key to a stronger business – and a stronger team – is actually making them less dependent on you? In this week’s episode, we explore what happens when business owners and leaders step back, creating organisations that can thrive without relying on one person to drive them forward.
First up, Simon Bedard – Managing Director of Exit Advisory Group and author of Exit Like an Expert – explains why reducing owner dependence can create a more valuable, enjoyable business and give owners greater freedom, whether they sell soon or not.
Then, leadership specialist and Director of Bluestone Edge, Errol Amerasekera, explores why leaders don’t need all the answers. Drawing on his book From Fear to Flow: The Adaptive Safety Revolution, Errol shares practical ways to build adaptive teams by encouraging curiosity, vulnerability and diverse ideas – helping teams develop the confidence and capability to navigate rapid change.
