E216: “I Have A Mission For Growth.” - Interviewing Jim Barnish
Strategic change leader with over 15 years of leadership experience in global and integrated operations and founder and managing partner of Orchid Black, Jim Barnish Jr joins the show to share his passion for growth. Together, they discuss the importance of focusing on growing the people within your organisation, why we sometimes need to break things down to push forward and why personal growth can be transformational.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- As a leader, If you are focused on growing the people, you will find that the people are focused on growing the company and will take care of the customers. Growing people is possible through solid leadership.
- It is a luxury to be able to take risks in life but if you are lucky enough to be able to take a step back and look at what you're wanting to accomplish in life, it can be transformational. It is life-changing to align what you're good at, what you get paid to do, the impact you have on the world and what you love to do.
- Most businesses stop at the operational and revenue layer of business. They focus on driving as many sales to the business as possible. Whilst these things are important, the real value in a business sits above the operations and revenue layer. It is important to understand what transferable value the product or service is going to have.
- Sometimes you need to break things down to push forward. It is very hard for a lot of business founders to do this, but you have to accept what is in your control and what's not. Sometimes things are outside of your control and you must go above and beyond your comfort zone to push the company forward.
- Many companies miss the boat on understanding what the right compensation package is for their employees. Providing motivational benefits that will make your employees happy will make your company great and allow your staff to please your customers the way you would.
- Focusing on your personal growth can also be transformational. It is okay to take a step back and grow yourself. Your support system is important when you are trying to grow your company and they should not be separate.
BEST MOMENTS
“I have a mission for just plain growth.”
“That is such a special feeling.”
“There had to be a better way, there just had to be.”
“That is fun when you can unlock it."
