이 에피소드에 관해
The most personal conversation on this podcast so far. Ed Ferris took over his father's business at 23 after his dad had to step away for his health. Two weekends in, at one in the morning, his most important team member rang him in pieces. He talks here about how unequipped he felt, about the mistakes he made, and about redundancies that he says destroyed him for a year.
EmilyMonsell-Holden, who led teams through the COVID transition and throughout rounds of redundancies, adds the part leadership teams miss: for everyone who stays after a restructure, that's the beginning rather than the end, and the tremors last for years if nobody keeps talking.
Part one of two.
