À propos de cet audio

 In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king The One-Eyed Man is a podcast about navigating complexity with curiosity. It’s a noisy, messy world out there. The challenges we face - whether in business, leadership, or life - are seldom simple. But instead of pretending to have all the answers, I prefer to have conversations with people who ask better questions. From entrepreneurs and innovators to impact-driven leaders and technologists, these conversations explore what it really takes to lead thoughtfully, adapt strategically, and create meaning in an age of uncertainty. I’m Mike Stopforth, and I believe leadership isn’t about perfection - it’s about clarity, courage, and conversation. Let’s figure it out, together.Solid Gold Podcasts and Audiobooks Développement commercial et entrepreneuriat Entrepreneurship Gestion et leadership Sciences sociales Économie
