Business Psychologist Michael Costello meets one of the most influential thinkers on leadership of our era…Mr Jim Collins (who rarely gives an interview!). Having authored or co-authored six books that have sold in total more than 10 million, Jim is releasing Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0 to crack the challenge 'How do you turn your business in to an enduring great company?' Reed Hastings at Netflix stated that the original book had more influence on his leadership than any other person or any other book. Jim shares his thoughts on his time with Steve Jobs (during Jobs's wilderness years at 'NeXT') but also shares lessons from leaders at Xerox, Gillette and Netflix on what they did to grow personally & challenge their business. The conversation pulls on the leadership behaviours of George Washington, Winston Churchill and President Kennedy to break the challenging business issues of today & offer a perspective on what we need from the American President Joe Biden during the Covid Crisis.
