Intro:
This week I’m honoured to bring Anthony Di Pietro, more commonly known as Chairman onto the podcast.
Anthony has been a major shareholder of the Melbourne Victory Football Club since its inception in 2005 and where he served as Chairman for 12 years.
This was a special episode for me, as I got the chance to chat with someone I truly look up to, and who has so much wisdom and gravatas when it comes to leading organisations.
In this episode we look at different ways to lead, brand & image, decision making, the coach appointment process, insights around contracts and much more.
Ok, let’s go
