It's essential to pay attention to the signs that indicate whether you're in the right price range. John Ray joins us today to discuss this topic!

    The Human Side of Leadership

    Today's episode explores leadership through the lens of human skills with Nathan King. As the world evolves with AI, past leaders often prioritized hard skills. However, moving forward, those who cultivate human skills—like active listening, effective delegation, and trust-building—will make a significant impact. These abilities empower leaders to achieve so much more. Nathan King is a consultant who helps leadership teams achieve powerful execution for exponential growth. After leading a healthcare services business unit from $25M to $100M in revenue over seven years at Shearwater Health, Nathan launched his consulting practice to help other leaders bridge the gap between their bold plans and actual results. Drawing from over two decades of experience in high-growth publicly traded and PE-backed companies, Nathan specializes in two key areas: guiding organizational transformations (including business unit turnarounds and post-merger integrations) and helping leadership teams implement a systematic framework for prioritization and accountability. His work typically begins with focused workshop sessions where he facilitates critical discussions about business challenges and strategic goals. He holds an MBA from the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia and resides in Nashville, TN with his wife and twin boys.
