What happens when a serial DIYer meets a leadership challenge he can’t fix with a toolbox?.
In this episode of UH-OH Conversations with Cohesive Leaders, Dr. Troy Hall and Ben-Jamin Toy are joined by John Patsch, co-founder of Miingl. John is a craftsman who rolls up his sleeves to understand the how behind everything from garage projects to corporate culture.
The UH-OH Moment
John pulls back the curtain on a startup failure from 12 years ago that changed his perspective on leadership forever. It wasn't a product failure or a market shift. It was a power struggle. John shares a raw account of how a "need to be right" fueled argumentative communication, caused the founders to lose sight of their vision, and ultimately ended a business partnership for good.
