Founded in Barcelona, Spain in October 2014, Akuaro was born as a networking agency that created a new methodology where the selection consultant becomes a business consultant for professionals in the Information Technology sector. Mediating between companies and projects, and seeking synergies between the aspirations of both. Ekei Salgueiro, Raimon Luques and Claudio Henríquez M. met 4 years ago while working in a recruitment agency in the area of ​​IT.They quickly realized the problems of the sector & sometimes breaking the rules or going against what business indicators tell you produces bigger results. We gave more importance to people than to numbers. In this sector there is a lot of demand, but also a lack of understanding as to what professionals really want. These gaps led them to create Akuaro, a networking agency that to date has gained the loyalty of more than 100 thousand professionals. Currently, it has commercial operations in several countries including Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and England.Resources Mentioned In The Episodehttp://www.akuaro.com/

He has some interesting ideas on how to bring these ideas into the forefront with real world examples. In his new book, The Bridge to Growth , he shows how servant leaders—those who serve employees by giving them what they need to fully engage and commit to achieving the company's goals—producer better results than leaders who put themselves first.

This is happening because more women are moving into the management ranks, and because Millennials have higher expectations of their leaders because we raised them to seek meaning and purpose in their job.Politics: Servant leadership in action and how it can help your business innovate the same way our country has innovated.The Ten Most Important Traits of High-Performance TeamsResources Mentioned In the EpisodeThe Bridge to Growth: How Servant Leaders Achieve Better Results and Why It Matters Now More Than Ever https://www.amazon.com/Bridge-Growth-Jude-Rake/dp/1510728406JDR Growth Partners: https://www.jdrgrowthpartners.comCatch our episode here or below:
