Building LEGACY Teams That Thrive After You're Gone
This video is a special feature on the How2-Change channel—unlike our usual format, where I host guests to share their single best piece of advice, this time, I was the guest.In this discussion, we explore the themes that drive my work and inspired me to create the How2-Change Words of Wisdom podcast. At the heart of it is one key question: What kind of legacy are we creating in our work, our interactions, and our actions every day?I share two stories that reflect the principles I believe in:The Man in the Hole (08:25): A story about stepping into challenges alongside others, not just providing answers from above.The Biggest Buildings (14:43): A reflection on using our skills where they can create the greatest impact.These stories illustrate my philosophy as an interim manager and consultant: success isn’t just about solving problems—it’s about transferring capability and building confidence so teams can thrive independently.We also talk about why I started the How2-Change Words of Wisdom podcast: to pass on advice and insights that have made a lasting impact on me, so others can benefit too.📍 In this video, you’ll discover:Why capability and confidence transfer are the foundation of lasting change.How interim managers and boutique consultancies bring a unique approach to transformation.The motivation behind How2-Change’s mission to empower organisations and leaders.Have you ever worked with someone who left a lasting impact on you? Let us know in the comments!📌 Chapters (Timestamps):[08:25] The Man in the Hole: Stepping into challenges[14:43] The Biggest Buildings: Taking skills where they matter most
