Roland Sieblink
[17:37] “One question we always asked the executive teams when we interviewed them right before a workshop is can you state your strategy in one sentence? That is still the best possible indicator I found of having a sharply focused strategy.”
[21:35] “I would still say start with creating a bit more self-awareness. And that sounds very soft. I know a lot of people resist that. But really, if you can learn to be more open to some feedback about yourself, maybe ask a coach to do a 360 survey of people around you.”
Matt Wolach
[15:39] “Learn your market, know who your ideal customer is, and aim directly at that customer with your product with your marketing messaging with your sales process, aim at that person.”
[09:36] “A lot of people don't realize the evolution you need to go through as a leader. As your company grows, there are so many different changes.”
