3️⃣ FairnessI had an absolute blast with this one, especially in the post pod conversation where there's a good chance our dad's met (and given the wheeler dealer nature of them both, one likely owed the other one a few quid 😊).Here's three key takeaways from this episode with Paul Richardson:Importance of Perseverance and Hard WorkPaul underlines the necessity of hard graft as a cornerstone of success. Recounting his early business days, he shares how working seven days a week when rivals didn't, gave him an edge. This additional effort gave him a head start over time. He also discusses resilience or the capability to overcome hurdles. Paul believes in fostering resilience by setting strong examples and striking a balance between shielding and letting individuals experience near-failures.Strategic Vision and a 'Helicopter View'Paul underscores the need for a strategic outlook, or a 'helicopter view', to foresee potential challenges and opportunities. He suggests that leaders should demonstrate commercial maturity to offer guidance without getting caught up in the details. His leadership approach involves trusting others' expertise while providing strategic insights. He also stresses the role of physical spaces in mirroring company culture and promoting employee wellbeing.Relationships and Fairness in BusinessPaul highlights the significance of fairness and long-term relationships in business. He believes transactions should aim for mutual benefit, paving the way for future collaboration. He emphasises building relationships and the importance of fairness during deals, which can lead to future support. Richardson suggests investing in people often supersedes the product, and when considering collaborations or investments, traits like passion, perseverance, resilience, and risk-taking are crucial.
