Leading a company with over a thousand employees is one thing, leading them all to work cohesively to success is the true challenge.

Tune in until the end as Francisco also shares his advice for CEOs, only here in the latest episode of The Fearless Mindset Podcast.
GOLDEN NUGGETS
Business is a team sport - Francisco: “It is our belief that the business is a team sport. So you know, if I use my running experience, it will be like running a team race, and the clock doesn't start, doesn't stop ticking until the last person crosses the finish line. So you start thinking like, it doesn't do you any good to say, “hey, my finance person is the number one in the world, but my product person is number four, well, then you're number four.”
The people you should surround yourself with - Francisco: “You need to have people that are proactive, that are self-starters if they are not the type of people that you have to be micromanaging, and they're intellectually curious, so they want to know how this might work, interact with the work downstream and upstream. They're good social creatures, so they're connecting within the company.”
