We had a truly international cohort on this call, as each member of Dave’s family were born in a different country, as were the members of Jussi's family!
One of the stand-out things from this episode was that both Dave and Jussi agreed for a business to be 6 stars they need to be led by purpose. If they weren't driven by purpose then they would be 5 stars 'at best', and in Jussi's words they would make some profits but die off and not last.
This is another episode that could have kept going!
Here are some highlights:
10:10 - the blue ocean strategy was a great start
12:55 - The erosion of institutions
21:10 - How Covid has shifted internal needs inside organisations to develop

Jussi Luukkonen
Jussi has been coaching people for decades. First as a theatre director, as a leader and then as a successful entrepreneur.
His philosophy is that everybody has an infinite potential for greatness. As a coach, Jussi helps his customers to reveal and use that potential.
Jussi is also a published author, with his seventh book “Upstreaming - How to manage your boss, but still lead your team” being released in mid-2021. It is a survival guide for first time and front-line managers.
Something Interesting About You:
Originally I was trained as a theatre director and the last play I directed was The Tempest by Shakespeare in 1989 at Ad Astra Theatre which I founded in 1985. The theatre is still going strong but the current crew thinks that I am dead and some sort of imaginary being.
