If we think of CEOs as pilots, the executive advisor is the one everyone turns to when every light on the panel is flashing, the cockpit glows red, and all you can see outside are black clouds, grey skies, and lightning bolts.
In this episode, I'm thrilled to be joined by Steve Duddy. Steve is a CEO, Executive Advisor, Speaker, and Board Director. The go-to person for leaders seeking guidance to navigate rough waters. His greatest contribution lies in providing transformational leadership to young, underappreciated companies, helping them achieve financial success and, above all, tackle challenges with a forward-thinking mindset.
Tune in and listen to the sixty-eighth episode of Avant-garde Entrepreneur. You'll hear about the emotional aspects of being a leader, why effective communication is crucial during crises, and how to set real-world expectations for you and your team. Steve also talks about the mindset shifts every leader must go through to thrive during challenging times, the side of fundraising no one talks about, how to deal with underperformers, and much more.
