In this episode, I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Geoff Burch, the renowned business guru known for his unconventional insights into management and leadership.
Geoff takes us on a funny yet profoundly insightful journey through the quirks and conundrums of business management, sharing models, methods, and frameworks that challenge conventional wisdom.
Geoff introduced the "Sheffield Teddy Bear Company" model, a satirical look at how outsourcing and management inefficiencies can impact local economies and the overall health of a business.
His Swiftian take on "Arming the Peasants" delves into empowerment within organisations, questioning the real meaning of empowerment in today's corporate culture.
(Short version: the peasants are armed, but have no ammo...)
Here are some standout quotes from Geoff:
Geoff's ability to blend humour with profound business insights makes this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to think differently about management, leadership, and the culture of work.
