Lee chats with Josh Gain, founder of The 10x Manager Community, an organised skill sharing group dedicated to helping managers be the best in their current leadership role and preparing them for the next. One of 10x leaderships philosophies is “Management is a title given to you by a company. Leadership is when somebody decides that they are going to create change and impact their team, their business, their industry and beyond. Leadership has nothing to do with job titles, it's all to do with people and their actions.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS
After studying history at The London School of Economics, Josh began a sales career but always with a mind to starting his own business.
One of the real challenges in the scaling of high growth business is attracting the best people and retaining them.
10x Management is a community driven learning platform where managers come together and share knowledge and insights to ultimately improve in their positions.
10x has developed a whole training platform that helps people train in the 12 key areas of management.
We need new ideas that are implemented or perhaps even fail, to learn. We need to analyse the results and 10x allows you to share these insights with the community.
Have clarity on your destination. Set clear goals with timelines and measurable results.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I graduated with a history degree and then tried to work out ‘what do I do now with a history with a history degree?’ and I Kind of fell into sales’ – Josh

‘The real problem was, managers need better training. They need to become better leaders. Companies are aware of it and managers are aware of it but no one really does much about it’ – Josh

‘When you talk about those twelve things, how did you identify those twelve?’ – Lee

‘Through all the conversations we’ve been having. Each week we do a Management Masterclass. We bring someone in to speak about what they are great at and how people can actually replicate that.’ - Josh 

‘We prompt everybody to reflect into the community. Based on the experience that you’ve had and the insights that you’ve taken in we prompt them to say something or ask a question into the community that can help have a discussion and prompt more ideas from other people to really develop that thought and that learning.’ – Josh

‘I can always get better and I can always improve and there’s always people to learn from.’ - Josh
