In this episode I talk with Mike Flewitt, CEO of McLaren Automotive - the supercar brand with a reputation for restless innovation and exceptional design and engineering. As Mike approached his 50th birthday, he bravely declined the cruise control option to retirement and took the road less travelled by joining what was then a fledgling road car company spun out of a racing titan. However, despite all the right ingredients, when Mike pulled up to the start line, he was shocked at the lack of alignment, the business being 3 months from the launch date of its newest model and a track that wasn’t clear. With some leaders distracted by its legacy racing roots, a disconnect between teams, and financial pressure from an unravelling relationship between management and shareholders, he wondered if he’d made the biggest mistake of his career. But Mike’s human-centric approach jump-started the brand, acting like a fuel-injection and radically accelerating performance to compete with the likes of Lambourghini and Ferrari, and growing the business to an impressive 23% share of the market. Join me to hear how this inspiring human-centric leader took his learnings from the early days on the factory floor in Liverpool to realise a lifelong dream on a global scale. For more on leadership alignment - https://www.louisebrowncoaching.com/alignmentFor more on leading from a human perspective - https://www.louisebrowncoaching.com/about-meFor more leadership insights:  https://www.louisebrowncoaching.com/leadership-insights
