Episode Synopsis

Thanks so much! Here's a rewritten summary of your interview with Frank Spevak, using a more conversational style.Interview with Frank Spevak: The Real-World MBAWe recently sat down with Frank Spevak, the author of The MBA You Need but Won’t Get, to chat about his book and what it really takes to succeed in business. Our conversation went beyond the typical business school talk, diving into the core of what makes a great leader.Making Decisions That MatterOne of the big takeaways from our talk was Frank's view on decision-making. He believes it's more than just a business function; it's a moral act. Frank explained that when a leader makes a decision, they're not just choosing a path forward—they're revealing their values and what truly matters to their company. He made it clear that leaders need the courage to make decisions even without perfect information, and they need to be okay with failure, as it's a natural part of the learning process.The Innovative and Courageous LeaderFrank also shared his thoughts on what makes a leader truly innovative. It's not about being a creative genius; it's about being courageous and embracing a "learn-it-all" attitude. He calls this "Always Be Curious," or ABC. This means constantly seeking knowledge and being open to new ideas, even if they come from unexpected places. He reminded us that innovation isn't about avoiding failure, but about learning from it.We wrapped up our chat by talking about legacy. Frank made a powerful point: success isn't just about what you build, but what you leave behind. He argues that a leader’s most important job is to develop other leaders. This ensures that the business can thrive and continue to grow long after you've moved on, turning your hard work into a lasting legacy. It's a great reminder that the ultimate goal isn't to be a hero, but to empower others to become leaders themselves.Find more about Frank at: FrankSpevak.comLook for more Savvy Resources at: SavvyLeadersLounge.comSavvyLivingNetwork.com
