Using Previous Roles To Amplify Your Leadership with Austen Asadorian

If you were to leave your position as a leader tomorrow, what would happen?

Would everything continue running as normal because you built repeatable systems that are designed to run without you?

Or would everything fall apart because the systems you have in place rely on you running them?

This is a really important area where I spend a lot of time working with leaders in the B2B Leaders Academy.

In this episode, best-selling author and leadership coach Nils Vinje speaks with Austen Asadorian, Senior Vice President of Sales at SevenRooms.

Before getting into the tech world, Austen ran restaurants for the Hillstone group and learned the incredible power of systems that can run without you.
