How to Transform Your Leadership Style and Save Your Company w/ Scott Snider Reflect Forward

Scott Snider had to transform his leadership style to be successful. Scott is the President of the Exit Planning Institute (EPI) and the Operating Partner of Snider Premier Growth, a small family investment company. At EPI, Scott is responsible for the organization's strategic direction and overseeing the company's operations and chapter development. Since joining EPI, Scott has expanded the organization regionally, nationally, and globally, providing a transformational educational experience to advisors from all specialties across the globe.

Scott is a nationally recognized industry leader, growth specialist, and lifetime entrepreneur. As EPI's operational and strategic leader, Scott thrives on helping advisors learn how to educate clients, achieve market distinction, and deliver real results.
Episode Insight: Command and control doesn't work. People don't want to work for a boss who barks orders at them. They want to work for someone who inspires them to be their best.

Background: Scott Snider was a command-and-control kind of guy. His first company was a full-service landscaping firm where a chain of command worked. When he took over running The Exit Planning Institute, Scott quickly learned that his old way of leading didn't work. Swallowing his pride, he embraced feedback from his closest employees, transforming his leadership style and, in turn, his company.

During this episode of Reflect Forward, Scott and I go deep and discuss what it's like to rip up company values that are no longer working and rebuild not only your culture but yourself in the process. Scott does not like to get vulnerable, which he talks about during the interview, but he shares how tough it was to hear the feedback and how grateful he is for his employees/friends who stood by his side. This episode is real and I know you'll appreciate Scott's journey to finding himself and being himself.
