Lead In Your Sweet Spot - w. Jacob Robinson

The Leadwell Podcast

Have you ever wondered what it takes to carve out your niche in leadership? Join me as I sit down with Jacob Robinson, the dynamic CEO making waves in the amusement park industry. Together, we unearth the nuances of being a 'zero to one' leader—those rare visionaries who breathe life into ideas and create teams that push boundaries. Jacob's journey from service sector CEO to theme park entrepreneur delves into the importance of playing to your strengths, strategically filling gaps with talented individuals, and the transformative power of stepping back to let others shine.
Leadership isn't just about vision; it's about fostering trust and empowering your team to soar. This episode takes a hard look at the pitfalls of micromanagement and the vital role of autonomy in nurturing talent. Hear firsthand the story of a COO friend who thrived under the weight of an overbearing boss, and how that experience sculpted my own 'learn-do-teach' philosophy. Together, we'll explore how clear communication and the courage to let others lead can turn a struggling team into a high-performing powerhouse.
Alongside my friend Jacob Robinson, host of 'Chasing What Matters' podcast, we discuss how DigWorld is not just an amusement park, but a mission to impact lives through joy and shared values. So tune in and let the spirit of adventure and leadership guide you through this inspiring episode.
