Mike Read has a reputation for achieving big results and turning the performance of factories around. His mission in life: to leave things in a better condition than he found them.
Always ahead of the curve, innovating, trusting his team and rousing the troops - even when he's delivering bad news. In this podcast we openly discuss Mike's:
Strengths
Weaknesses: he doesn't like to sugar coat things!
What causes him stress
How he brings work-life back in to balance
The childhood experiences that influenced who he is today
His recipe for success
Nuggets of genius that came out of this podcast included:
The importance of ownership, responsibility and self-managed teams who solve their own problems
How simplifying things is key
Focussing on the right things at the right time & not trying to fix everything at once
To keep on moving forward (even when things are good)
Using perspective and compartmentalising when things get tough
The positive impact of a leader / mentor and how they can shape future leaders’ behaviour
Learning to screen things out especially when you have a great thirst for knowledge; binning lots of stuff and cutting out the noise.
