Description

This episode of the People Performance Podcast features host Martin Johnson and guest Sean Royce, a long-serving business leader.

The conversation covers Sean's career journey, his transition from where he started as a graduate trainee and rose to become the Managing Director and essentially CEO. He also discusses his more recent work with the high-growth company Quick Line.

Key Takeaways:

  • Leadership Style: Sean describes his style as a "collegiate type leader" who believes that "leadership is shared, it's not imposed. So you've got to earn that respect."

  • Hiring Philosophy: He emphasises looking for potential hiring for "tomorrow as well as today" prioritising drive and attitude over immediate competence.

  • Business Vision: He advocates for building businesses that are sustainable for "decades," which requires establishing the right culture, environment, and leadership from the outset.

  • Leading Through Crisis: He stresses the importance of a leader maintaining confidence during difficult times, as "confidence breeds confidence" in the wider team.
