COLLABORATION. FREEDOM. RESULTS.
This week the Words With Oz Podcast welcomes one of Australia's most successful entrepreneurs James Spenceley.
James is a venture capitalist, philanthropist, innovator and was the founder of telecommunication giant Vocus. His forward thinking and ambitious approach led Vocus to growing a market cap of over $5 billion in the first 10 years.
James' specific question was:
"Is the art of performance in business more reliant on making aggressively laid plans or pursuing them?"
We spoke about the necessity to aim for the impossible and the attraction that provides for the best talent. James gives great insight into being vulnerable, listening and collaborating; as well as urges our youth to learn how to learn.
Plenty to be learned from this forward thinking mind.
Enjoy the show.
