Now, more than ever, independent business owners need to step up (or step into) the role of CEO in their business. It's time to take control. But taking on a leadership role in your own business is challenging even at the best of times. Last month I heard Julie Mathers, CEO of the worlds largest Vegan eCommerce store Flora and Fauna, speak at Inside Retail Live. I came away from our time together motivated and empowered by her passion for purpose driven business and the leadership role she has carved out for herself. At short notice, Julie kindly agreed to chat to me this week about Unleashing Your Inner Leader. We cover a lot of ground. Including; - how long it took her to become the CEO of her business - the differences she found between independent & corporate retail - how they've built the best team for their business - the importance of defining your purpose - why experience & failure make you a great leader After the show, join the conversation or simply stay in touch at Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/thesalenaknight] or Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/thesalenaknight/] The Bringing Business To Retail Podcast is an independent podcast produced by Salena Knight in collaboration with The Retail Academy.
