Welcome to Episode 183 of Building My Legacy.
In this podcast we talk with serial entrepreneur and author Jeremie Kubicek, the executive chairman of GiANT, a technology company focused on unlocking the potential of people, teams and organizations. Since catching what Jeremie calls “the bug of entrepreneurship,” he has started 28 companies. At GiANT Jeremie’s goal is to help people come alive — to take employees from being compliant to being engaged. He believes the job of a leader is to help people get to the next level. Jeremie also shares with us his thoughts on various transitions, including things to consider when you’re looking for a new job, managing or adjusting to changes in your workplace and even recruiting new team members.
So if you want to know:
- How to treat employees as assets, not liabilities
- About the “lighting a pilot light” approach to engaging employees
- Why the best example of leadership is the Sherpa
- The difference between being a good performer and being good at leading performers
- The importance of looking for the best culture and leadership team to work with
About Jeremie Kubicek
Jeremie Kubicek is a powerful communicator, serial entrepreneur and corporate thought leader. He’s passionate about providing coaches and leaders with the tools and certifications they need to increase the performance of individuals and teams. Working in Russia in the 1990s, Jeremie saw firsthand what happens when people are compliant but not engaged. That experience taught him to look at business a bit differently, seeing it as a combination of strategy, the business model, funding, capital and people. He recently transitioned from CEO to executive chairman of GiANT, the technology company he founded 23 years ago. He is the author of the national bestseller, Making Your Leadership Come Alive as well as The 100X Leader and 5 Gears. 5 Voices, the book he co-wrote with international consultant and speaker Steve Cockram, presents a simple way to understand the personalities of your employees, your family and yourself.
