Description

What's common between drumming in a heavy rock band, digitalising national post services, and growing a newly established airline? My guest today is Birgir Jonsson, the CEO of Iceland-based Play Airline who has done it all. We discuss Birgir's experience as a drummer and which learnings he took from that time to his job as a CEO in diverse companies. We also touch upon being an outsider, building company culture from scratch, and relationship with one's ego.

In this episode, you will hear about:

• being brutal and humble as a leader
• relying on others as an outsider
• the role of people in your business and personal success
• sharing ideology and vocabulary in a team
• the role of leadership coaching for the company's sustainable growth
• culture in business - a nice-to-have?

Stay safe and #standwithukraine,

Anna
