Listen "Ep 167, Taking Responsibility"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Conflict Managed we’re joined by Mark Astor for a conversation about what it really takes to run a successful business and a healthy workplace.
We talk about:
Why structure matters: the role of policies, procedures, and systems in keeping conflict at bay
The journey, challenges, and rewards of building a small business from scratch
How to hire well, delegate wisely, trust your team, and let go of control
Staying mission-driven and making sure your employees understand the “why” behind the work
Join us as we explore the connection between taking responsibility as a leader and creating a thriving business where people want to work.
Conflict Managed is available wherever you listen to podcasts and to watch on YouTube @3pconflictrestoration.
Mark was born and raised in the United Kingdom. He came to the US for college where he received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Michigan in 1990, his Juris Doctorate from Nova Southeastern University College of Law, and his Master of Laws Degree (L.L.M.) from American University.
Mark began his legal career as a Palm Beach County Assistant State Attorney and served as Chief of two different County Court Divisions and, thereafter, was promoted to a felony trial division. He has handled thousands of cases ranging from first-degree misdemeanors to Capital Murder.
In February 2016, Mark formed a concierge law service dedicated to helping families and individuals suffering from substance use and mental health disorders. Together with his experienced team and using the tools and resources only available to an experienced practitioner, Mark has been witness to many individuals experiencing the miracle of HOPE and recovery.
When he’s not working in his law practice, Mark empowers members of the community by teaching Krav Maga. He also enjoys an early morning work-out believing that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind.
