Ep. 31 - Doug Michael - “You don’t force people out if something’s not a good fit. You make sure whatever happens is the right answer for them.”
Host Nicky Acuna Ocana's guest on this episode of the 'Leaders With Ambition' podcast shares great leadership insights as he is a leading expert on U.S. expat employment tax accounting. It’s a niche that Doug Michael, a Partner at Anderson & Brown, cultivated organically.
As Doug explains to Nicky, 'our paths are all individual, but staying open and stepping up are universal ingredients for success'. For Doug, that meant modelling his work ethic and desire for excellence on his parents, both of whom were teachers, and developing the confidence to make a detour when his course of study at university wasn’t a good fit.
A transition into the study of philosophy offered no clear-cut job trajectory, but it did provide critical thinking skills that helped Doug progress through a variety of leadership roles within the international accounting sector.
You’ll learn about Doug’s journey into team-building based on confidence, trust, empathy and honesty. He also reflects on the pivotal role that early mentors played in illuminating the path beyond a “menial” entry-level job at PwC and the lessons that toxic workplace cultures have to teach.
This conversation, which is full of actionable advice, wraps up with Doug’s take on both career highlights and challenges. He also offers up several pieces of crystal-clear advice that we can all put to use in growing our lives - personally and professionally!
