Surrounding yourself with excellence can be a fast track to success. Whether you’re working within a high-performing team, or you’re able to find the right mentor, that excellence tends to wear off on you.
In this episode, I speak with, Maximilien Notter, who has been a Co-CEO at HUMANOO since August 2020. HUMANOO is Europe’s leader in corporate wellbeing and we discover Max’s journey towards becoming its Co-CEO, and how he made the most out of his experiences.
Max shares his feelings when he found out he was going to be the Co-CEO. He gives us insights into how to prepare for a leadership position and the unexpected challenges he faced. Max sees himself as a ‘servant leader’ and we learn what this means to him and how it can benefit teams.
He also shares with us the story of his first day as Co-CEO, and the insight that he realised about communication on that first day. Finally, we speak about motivation as a leader, and Max shares his insights into self-investment, which in turn, elevates his teams.
