Team Lead to Business Leader: Strategy, Failure, & Knowing When to Step In

In this episode of Sparks, Milly is joined by Cameron Swan and Nathan Rager for a conversation that digs into the real differences between managing a team and managing a business and how to handle that shift. As part of our Leadership and Management mini series, we explore how to lead when the stakes are high, when to step in (and when not to), and what it actually means to empower people to fail. Cameron and Nathan also share a few candid moments from their own journeys—and some advice that might just change how you approach your next big decision.Watch now to find out why a pre-mortem might be more useful than a post-mortem, and what’s worth adding to your reading list.--See what we do best:https://www.cegos.uk/Want to spark something with [email protected] with us on LinkedIn:Milly Gladstone: https://www.linkedin.com/in/milly-gladstone/Cameron Swan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronswan-/Nathan Rager: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanrager/00:00 Hello and welcome to Sparks01:13 On the episode today - Cameron Swan and Nathan Rager05:49 The difference between managing team and managing a business09:55 Pre-mortem vs post-mortem11:01 How do we know when to intervene?22:32 How do we empower people to risk failure?26:27 Have Cameron and Nathan had failure moments?38:29 Advice for managers handling strategic decisions44:32 Book club - what can I read on this topic?
