An Officer & an Entrepreneur - Growth Lessons for Each, with Andy Bjork

The Third Growth Option with Benno Duenkelsbuehler and Guests

Send us a Text Message.

We talk about the role of leadership and training within organizations of all sizes. From the deck of a Navy ship to the corridors of Ivystone (an entrepreneurial multiline sales agency), Andy Bjork, a Navy-Captain-turned-Chief-Sales-Officer, shares methodologies and real life examples that nurture effective growth. Learn how the Navy's allowance for mistakes in high-stakes situations shapes leaders, and how this hands-on experience contrasts with the innovative strides being made in the entrepreneurial world, where traditional ROI is not the only benchmark of success.
In company cultures and structures, these elements evolve together as a business expands. We talk about Andy's journey from the regimented world of the Navy to the nimble environment of Ivystone, examining the blending of autonomy and structure. Clear expectations and the quest for guidance help teams to flourish in both large and small organizations.
The power and importance of diverse voices in decision-making keeps coming up throughout our discussion. Andy and I discuss nurturing the next generation of leaders, taking cues from corporate trailblazers like IKEA, and how fostering employee growth is tantamount to retention. Join us as we piece together the mosaic of leadership, growth, and the pathways to securing an organization's legacy.

Always growing.
