Description

We hear it all the time, “people are your greatest asset”, but is it actually true? In this episode, I challenge one of the most overused clichés in leadership and business, and break down the real thinking behind why this phrase is more misleading than helpful.


I explore the origins of the saying, why it has become lazy thinking for many leaders, and what you should be focusing on instead if you want a high-performing team and a scalable business. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand the real relationship between people, performance and leadership – and why assets don’t think, feel or choose to follow you.


It's perfect for founders, CEOs and business leaders who want to go beyond slogans and build teams that genuinely drive their strategy forward. ---------
