We know we say this a lot but what an episode this is and so happy to have Mike Clare on the podcast. Mike is the CEO of Junior Adventures Group UK and is someone we work with in a partnership relationship with our Love Care Recruitment business.
Mike begins with some history of his background at Tesco, starting aged 15 and progressing through to leading parts of the entire operation before his current role. Advice, guidance, stories and tips shine through every time Mike has the mic.
He covers so many of these areas, but to cover just a few:
- We had a great discussion around mentorship, both in early career times and as we all progress and evolve over time.
- How he has learned from the bumps in the road in a career.
- Stealing and copying with pride from great people through his career. We love how Mike brought this alive for us.
- We explore not only where bad times or experiences slowed us down, we also explored where he had certain ‘accelerators’ in his career. Is the key to this ‘lightening up’ and being thankful?
- Power of sideways and backward steps
- Power or partnerships and meaningful relationships. How vital trust, openness and vulnerability is to the success of relationships like this.
- Advice for people in their careers - some real golden nuggets in there - advice from someone who started at 15 and progressed how he has.
- Businesses needing to create the environment for better recruitment and placing high value on the narrative and great communication through the process.
Lawrence’s 3 things….
1. Mike’s leadership perspective in current times - being largely a facilitator, creating teams that are best as a team not as individuals.
2. Career accelerator - great discussion! Is it about being thankful? Is it about lightening up?
3. Partnerships and meaningful relationships advice - how to maximise this in business and why its worked for him.
