After two decades of experience of working with founders, entrepreneurs, CEOs and venture capitalists what has he learned? Paul Stephenson in this episode explores; life beyond the spreadsheet, new world leadership and cybertime.
Whilst the spreadsheet is an important part of business it isn’t at the heart. Paul Stephenson is looking beyond the spreadsheet and asking what’s in your soul. As the world evolves how does leadership and businesses offer new opportunities?
At the heart of business is the leader and her/his team, so how do they become more heartfelt?
With the new world combined with new leadership we’re going to see a shift in how we administer our time. Paul will introduce his new world concept called cybertime.
