Greatness Podcast (Ep 131) | John Foong Discusses Leadership Experiences

Gretchen Gagel / John Foong Season 1 Episode 131

I admire people who consider themselves to be "servant leaders", and John Foong, Chief Commercial Officer of Domain and former Google executive, exemplifies this concept. John recently joined the Greatness Podcast to share his leadership experiences including his passion for unleashing the best in others and leading the change necessary to enable long-term success. John's ideas about why you are not doing anyone any favors if you keep someone in a role they are not suited to, and how to maintain a lens of curiosity about your employees, are spot on. We also delved into the topics of digital transformation and AI, how the technology of today is not going to get us to tomorrow. One key idea John shared is that the challenge as a leader is not to solve problems, it is to overcome the blindspots and determine that the problems exist.
