About this listen
What happens when ambition meets self-awareness in leadership?
In this episode, I speak with Nick Harley, Managing Director of Euromaster UK, about his evolution from a results-focused professional to a people-first leader who values connection, culture and long-term impact.
With more than 20 years of experience across sectors - from property to automotive - Nick shares how early career lessons, cross-cultural leadership and time spent on the front lines shaped his leadership philosophy.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How early work experiences built resilience and drive
- What it takes to shift from doing the work to leading others
- How new environments accelerate leadership development
- Why engaging directly with frontline teams improves culture and trust
- How to balance executive pressure with personal fulfillment
Key topics:
- Leadership transformation through experience
- Work-life integration in demanding roles
- Cross-cultural team dynamics and stakeholder communication
- Building strong organizational cultures from the ground up
Nick’s story is a grounded and honest look at the real work behind sustainable leadership and how staying connected to people is what drives performance.
