Leadership Lessons Learned from Life with Steve Whiteside

Imagine going from struggling with dyslexia in school to buying and turning around struggling colleges, all without a college degree at the start. Steve's tale is not just about personal success; it's also about the power of relationships and the crucial role they play in our professional lives.

In this episode, you'll hear how a wake-up call from a boss turned into a pivotal moment for Steve, setting him on a path to invaluable lessons in emotional intelligence and the heart of true leadership. We'll explore his fortitude through professional adversity, his insightful approach to leading by empowerment, and how he navigated the choppy waters of the private education industry to emerge a mentor and visionary in his own right.

Together with Steve, we'll unpack the differences between managing and leading, and why allowing people to learn from their mistakes can be the bedrock on which success is built. We’ll also share intimate moments of triumph, like helping a single mother reach her dreams, that underscore the human side of business.
