S2E30: Nicholas Farhi, Partner at OC&C Strategy Consultants
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today's guest is Nicholas Farhi, partner at OC&C Strategy Consultants. Nic has been with the firm for 20 years, and has a wide gamut of stories - most of them hilariously articulated - about his consulting and leadership experience.
The multi-faceted conversation covers a lot of ground, including:
- How to succeed in case interviews (hint: don't use jargon)
- The importance of letting your people take ownership for the business
- Why Nic turned down an offer to become CFO of KFC in the UK
- Which type of consulting is more fun: strategy or implementation
- The last time he properly danced
- And much more
Enjoy the episode, and share with a friend or colleague if you found value in it!
