In this episode of the GROWTH Schema podcast, I sit down with Kenneth Spiteri, Director of Business Innovation at Melita, for a conversation about the decisions, relationships, and unexpected turns that shape a career.

We explore Kenneth’s decision to leave banking and take a leap into a completely different chapter, challenging the idea that a successful career needs to follow a predictable path. We talk about knowing your deal breakers, taking calculated risks, and recognising when staying somewhere may actually be the riskier choice.

We also get into the more uncomfortable side of leadership: candour, difficult decisions, and why sometimes you have to be “cruel to be kind” when letting someone go may ultimately be better for both the individual and the team.

Along the way, Kenneth reflects on mentorship, the people who have influenced his journey, and why experience can sometimes bring us back to surprisingly simple conclusions about what really makes us happy.

This is a conversation about having the courage to change direction, being honest when it matters, and discovering that growth isn't always about adding more, sometimes it's about getting back to basics.
