    Ep: 05: The Tech Enthusiast - James Sambo (bonus: Biz Workshop with Caz)

    This is a different kind of interview. It is a two-part conversation in which we first meet James and then together, he and I workshop what it means to be a prospective client of mine in a role play of my Right Fit Assessment that helps me understand what core issues my clients are experiencing and develop ways to cultivate emotionally intelligence organisations from the management all the way through your teams. In this episode, James and I discuss: - Who James is and how he got into technology - What the Nigerian National Youth Service Corp is - The amazing opportunity for Nigerian businesses to include graduate programs as part of their human resources - The benefits James has experienced from emotional intelligence training And, in the role play, James details some of the challenges and desired outcomes he'd like in his business, including: - How office politics and bitchy leadership creates a toxic work culture - The limitations of being a manager/boss and not being the truth about your dumb ideas and just how expensive they really are - Nigeria's power dynamics and cultural influences in leadership - How much Naira per quarter the toxic work culture and lack of foundation for honesty is costing his business in lost productivity and profit. - The desired outcomes my services achieve.
