Business stories have a way of cutting through the noise. They reveal what textbooks miss, what leadership workshops skim over, and what even seasoned CEOs sometimes forget. In this episode of Stop Managing, Start Leading, we unpack deceptively simple leadership lessons told through unexpected stories about putting a shark in a tank, selling shoes where no-one else sells shoes, removing the color beige from a product collection, and more that you definitely won’t have heard before that.

These kinds of leadership case studies and examples show us that insight is at the heart of all great business decisions. Insight is the real differentiator between good leaders and great ones – many organizations stagnate due to a lack of it. If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or executive trying to make better decisions, lead with more clarity, and avoid the most common business pitfalls, watching this episode is the first step for you to stop managing, and start leading.
