Description

In today's epsiode I'm joined by Kenny Bhosale, an executive leader, turned leadership coach.

We discuss his work with The Bridge and how he helps leaders and organizations succeed. He focuses on working with businesses that are scaling up and experiencing common pain points such as lack of vision alignment and difficulty in developing leaders. 

Kenny emphasizes the need for leaders to adapt to the changing landscape of leadership, which includes shifts towards emotional and social intelligence, meeting the expectations of younger generations, and embracing the messy nature of leadership. 

He also provides advice for first-time leaders, encouraging them to find their own leadership style and prioritize getting results. Kenny discusses the mistakes first-time leaders make and the importance of using authority effectively. 

He reflects on his journey since launching his own business, The Bridge, and highlights the joy of seeing others join him on the mission. Kenny shares his personal development as a leader and the lessons he learned from his time in the military, including the importance of trust and strategic alignment. 

He also discusses his future goals, which include coaching leaders to develop their own leaders and creating a lasting legacy.

Main takeaways:

• Common pain points for businesses scaling up include lack of vision alignment, difficulty in getting the best out of people, and the need for founders to step back and delegate to their leaders.
