How Great Companies Scale: Leadership, Accountability & Growth with Mark Winters

from GDS Unplugged Podcast · host GDS Unplugged

About This Episode: Entrepreneur, EOS Implementer, business coach, and Rocket Fuel co-author Mark C. Winters joins Glen Smith for a conversation on leadership, accountability, business growth, and the challenges entrepreneurs face as their companies evolve.  Mark's path to entrepreneurship did not begin with a startup. It began at Procter & Gamble, where he was quickly moving up the corporate ladder. After a difficult experience with management that challenged his assumptions about the future he had planned for himself, he began exploring entrepreneurship. That decision ultimately led him to start, buy, or help build more than 15 companies.  Today, Mark is one of the most recognized voices in the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) community. In this episode, he shares lessons from decades of business ownership, coaching, and leadership development, along with practical insights from his books Rocket Fuel and The Visionary.  Watch the Full Episode:  This overview highlights some of the biggest lessons from our conversation, but the full episode dives deeper into entrepreneurship, EOS, leadership teams, accountability, delegation, and the relationship between visionaries and integrators.  Watch the complete conversation with Mark C. Winters to hear the stories, lessons, and leadership insights behind building a business that lasts. Disclosure:  GDS Wealth Management ("GDS") is an SEC-registered investment adviser.
