Conal talks about his adjustment to the CEO role after a stellar career at P&G, Asda and Ryanair. What is different about the CEO role and how it took him time to realise that. Whilst everyone gets the theory of leadership, its only when in situ that “you quickly realise whether you have what it takes.” His sink or swim moment was recognising that when working for a start-up vs a blue chip “you´ll get found out in the P&L.” The importance of developing self-awareness, on what motivates vs demotivates you… something that most formal education and training leaves you unprepared. And whilst reluctant to give advice… to recognise that your job security depends on your CV not your employer. Thanks for listening, and if you think this can help a colleague, please share.
