This week, we have a high energy conversation with master business guru and author David Nour about what makes business relationships work for you and your business. Are you doing all the work? Is your team firing on all cylinders? Are you getting repeat business? Is your business bleeding money? Are you finding the best people for your business? All of these critical issues and more are on the table. Join us.

David's most recent book, "Curve Benders", explores how strategic relationships can power explosive growth, especially in the post pandemic world.

1.36 Interview – David Nour – Business Relationships That Work

Relationships are the connective tissue of a business

Employees have figured out they do not have to put with dinosaur leadership

Attract talent first, then build a package to fit them so you can attract exceptional talent

Your language, mindset and attitude make an enormous difference in people performance

Your product, price and availability are just table stakes, you are in the relationship business

Servant leadership must be practiced

We are products of the advice we take

Confidence is knowing that you know a lot, but there is still more to learn

Arrogance is thinking you know a lot and there is nothing new you can learn

Get out of the baby-sitting business and let your employees be creative

Phenomenal leaders build scalable, repeatable, predictable business models

Communication is much about listening louder

Hire people different than you who will raise the bar

Small business is the lifeline of our economy, topics like The Oval Tableserve this community
