Reflections on my conversation with Steve Weston from VOLT
Listen now
Description
In the previous episode, I speak with Steve Weston, founding CEO of VOLT, a neo bank. Here I share my reflections on our conversation. Steve Weston is the founding CEO of Volt, a neo bank that is in disruption mode. Having led significant parts of Barclays in the UK, NAB and Challenger in Australia, he returned to Sydney and has set about using technology as a disruptive force in its truest sense. Steve grew up in rural Queensland and as he tells it fell into banking by mistake. His strong beliefs in customer service led him to transform residential mortgage services around the world. We discuss, What leadership in a traditional industry needs to look like in the 21st century, Why he is obsessed with leaders spending time in the front line, What 'handing the keys over', means to him, The reality of moving from a corporate CEO to a start up CEO, and a whole lot more, Effective leaders will always outperform ineffective leaders over time! Hi, I am Pod O'Sullivan. For over twenty years I have coached, mentored and supported corporate leaders and leadership teams all over the world to become impactful, effective and high performing. This is a podcast that taps into that experience. It is recorded for and about senior business leaders, C suite leaders, Founders and CEO's. I interview leaders and experts about ways to optimise leadership. What are the useful habits and thinking patterns? What are the secrets to high performing teams? How do they continue to nurture their effectiveness day after day? In other words, what is their leadership diet? www.theleadershipdiet.com
