Listen "EP52: Bringing in expertise | Andrew Southcott | Captivate Group"
Episode Synopsis
It's always a good day when someone gets in touch to pitch a podcast episode idea. Even better when that someone is a client. Andrew Southcott is Managing Director at creative agency group Captivate. Andrew hired me last year to work with Captivate's new business talent, a move that came as part of a wider initiative to bring in external expertise for advice, support or training on a range of themes across the business. For me, this is a dream engagement. Mentoring up and coming new business talent is one of the most rewarding parts of my job, but I was interested to explore Andrew's leadership approach – a growth mindset clearly focussed on development, improvement, and well…. marginal gains! In this episode Andrew talks us through his experiences of the last year and how a range of experts and outsourced resource are adding value across the business. It's a fascinating listen, jam packed with great insights and advice. Breaking with convention, instead of a book recommendation, check out the YouTube channel Ashville Aggregates – for a example of entrepreneurship in action.
