Listen "#205 Christian Muntean - How to Lead like an Athlete"
Episode Synopsis
This week on In The Growth Space, David is joined by Christian Muntean—advisor to owners, executives, and boards, and the founder of Vantage Consulting. Christian has helped small and mid-sized companies drive over $500 million in top-line growth, all while expanding margins and giving leaders back their time and freedom. Christian is also the author of Train to Lead, a practical, field-tested 90-day leadership development program inspired by the principles of athletic training.
In this episode, David and Christian discuss:
The inspiration behind Train to Lead and how it blends athletic training principles—like periodization, conditioning, strength, endurance, power, and recovery—with leadership development
Common challenges faced by both new and experienced leaders—and practical ways to overcome them
How to mitigate burnout by adjusting pacing in the workplace, and why simply “pushing through” doesn’t lead to sustainable success
How leaders can build daily routines and use self-assessment as a tool for long-term growth and continuous improvement
