#18 - Vincent Moindrot - The CEO Who Lost His Team's Trust Overnight, and the journey to re earn it.
Vincent Moindrot, CEO of French car rental startup carlili.fr, shares his journey through a leadership crisis.
Vincent reacted poorly when cash flow issues required layoffs. He abruptly fired staff without empathy. This destroyed employee trust and led to 50% turnover.
With coaching, Vincent rebuilt trust through weekly reconnect meetings and transparent communication. He learned to align actions with values instead of perceived business needs.
This experience taught Vincent the importance of vulnerability, authenticity and courage in leadership. He focuses on clearly conveying Carlyle's vision and improving communication as the company scales. Vincent's story offers a cautionary yet hopeful tale of losing trust rapidly through poor leadership decisions, then gradually regaining it by recommitting to transparency.
A great lesson of humility, redemption, and continous improvement.
Vincent credits Let My People Go Surfing by Patagonia's Yvon Chouinard and The Pyramid of Clarity framework for providing leadership inspiration.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
