This week’s episode we are joined by someone I had heard so many connections rave about before I ever met him. Neil Luo is one of those rare people who is such a wonderful leader that he has built a massive following. In his early days he was a consultant with Boston Consulting Group, and since then has worked with Expedia, hotels.com and seek and moved to Airwallex during their hyper growth period. More recently he has become COO of Amber electric. In this episode Neil shares:  How his first experience as a leader was just being thrown in the deep end Why not being critical enough caused problems for him as a leader The times you should hire a generalist and the times you should hire a specialist What happened when he hired staff who were misaligned with the company culture His advice for finding mentors The important choice he made when he had to manage a team but doubted himself  Key Quotes “I probably wasn’t critical enough.” “As a new manager you always try to delay the decision. As you’re more experience you’re just like, let’s just nip it in the bud.” “You just need to do it, bunch of goals, bunch of resources bunch of restraints, figure out how to solve it and over time you’ll get better at it.” “Vulnerability is important. If you’re not vulnerable, people can see it.”   More About Neil You can follow Neil via linkedin: linkedin.com/in/neil-luo   If you want to find out more about what Wayne does, check out his business via the website:   http://engage4performance.com/ Or you can follow him on socials: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wayne-reuben-engage4performance/        See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
