The Gap Between Manager and Leader, with Andy Rolston | Ways to Wealth EP153

This week on the Ways to Wealth Podcast, Charlie speaks to Andy Rolston, founder of Rolston Leadership Group and a leadership coach who learned more about leading people on a rugby sideline than he ever did in a corporate office.Andy left school and became a mechanic, moved into computing, spent time in corporate, then walked away to retrain as a rugby coach. He coached across New Zealand, Canada, and England before buying a carpet cleaning business, building it up, selling it to his partner, and eventually landing where he is now, helping managers become leaders.The conversation covers why most people get promoted for being good at their job and then get no preparation for the completely different skill set that leadership requires. Andy explains why he used to do his most technical coaching when players were exhausted rather than fresh, why he never told his team what to fix at halftime, and how giving one nervous young player a single thing to focus on unlocked her entire game.He also gets into why ego is the biggest barrier to good leadership, what the All Blacks got right after the 2007 World Cup, and why he thinks every business owner should be building for sale even if they never plan to sell.Listen to every episode of Ways to Wealth here: https://www.eccuity.com/podcastsLearn more about Andy at: https://andyrolston.com#waystowealth #leadership #rugbycoaching #entrepreneurship #nzbusiness #managertoleader #trust #teamculture #allblacks #coaching #businessexit #personalgrowth #wealthbuilding #smallbusiness
