If you are a leader or an entrepreneur this podcast will speak to you (well, I guess that's the point). These are stories of amazing people with the courage to lead and often admit they were wrong and challenge long-held beliefs to make change. Many of these everyday heroes have evolved into leaders and entrepreneurs, and most of their stories have never been heard, until now. Pete Durand interviews people from all walks of life - the military, finance, business, sports, government and education. We learn from their challenges, pitfalls, lessons and how, by eating crow, they used an open mind to adjust their way of thinking and lead others, including their families.

I'm fortunate to lead two great organizations.

After helping many companies scale with great talent, I've joined Instrumentum as their Chief Operating and Growth Officer, it was just too good to pass up.  My task?  Help the company scale profitably.  How?  People, Process, and Culture.  Fortunately, Cruxible Partners has provided the experience to do just that.

Instrumentum is doing great things - and Cruxible Partners is in the hands of an amazing team, so both are thriving.  Stay tuned as I share how Instrumentum is growing and changing the surgical landscape and how the leadership and talent lessons I've observed and shared over the last seven years at Cruxible are being applied.

Remember:

The average cost of hiring the wrong employee can go as high as $240,000, according to 2021 research from the U.S. Department of Labor.

Ouch.  Been there.

On the flip side, McKinsey & Co. states that hiring a ‘top performer’ over an ‘average performer’ yields up to 67% more productivity and profit.  

Been here too.  Much better place to be.

I've spent 30+ years in corporate America, worked at three startups, and founded two companies myself.  Building teams was and is the most challenging part of the job.

For the past five years I've been working with companies in the following areas:

-Product/market fit
-Marketing strategy and content
-Board advisory and consulting
-Attracting and retaining talent

Haven't posted in a while.  

Got me thinking:  "What am I doing here?"

I know many talented people who've used LinkedIn to build a brand or a business.  It didn't happen overnight.  They put in YEARs of work and tweaked their approach along the way.

To name a few:

Alex B Sheridan
Ravi Rajani
Darren McKee
Tom Simmons

I don't "do" business on LinkedIn, but I use it - to network, learn and when appropriate, offer insight into my POV and background, for those who care.

So why did I come back today?

The people I mentioned above keep putting out content I enjoy, learn from and find inspiring.  That simple.

I should do more here, and share what makes #Instrumentum such a great place to work.  I'm blessed - our team is incredible and we've built something special.  

Mishaps along the way, but that's the good stuff.  Mistakes, bad assumptions, pleasant surprises and lessons that help us steer the ship.

Hopefully your feed is full of smart people sharing their knowledge (and scars).

Check out Alex, Ravi, Darren and Tom; you will learn from them every day.
